Why is the sky blue? How is a rainbow formed? How does gravity work? How do planes fly? How do engines work? Curious? Then you will love studying physics.

Join us to study the laws that govern all matter and energy in the universe.

What are the benefits of studying physics?

Don’t just follow the trend. Rather than reasoning by analogy, you break things down to the most fundamental truths you can imagine and you reason up from there. And this is a good way to figure out if something really makes sense or if it is just what everybody else is doing.
Elon Musk (engineer, industrial designer, technology entrepreneur, and philanthropist)

By studying physics you will acquire the thinking skills described by Elon Musk. You will also learn how to test the validity of new ideas and theories - useful skills for any top-paid job.

Physics is really useful for most science, technology (including AI), engineering, computing, architecture, and mathematics-related careers.

What are you waiting for? Let us start this adventure together.
