Cambridge International IGCSE Physics (0625 & 0972) helps learners develop a thorough understanding of the fundamental principles that govern the physical world. The course encourages curiosity, logical thinking and scientific enquiry while exploring how physics explains the technology and natural phenomena encountered in everyday life.
Learners study a wide range of topics including motion, forces and energy, thermal physics, waves, electricity and magnetism, nuclear physics and space physics. Practical investigation plays a central role throughout the course, helping students develop the skills to plan experiments, analyse results and evaluate scientific evidence while applying their knowledge to real-world situations.
This qualification provides an excellent foundation for further study, including Cambridge International AS & A Level Physics and other science, engineering and technology-related subjects. It develops analytical, mathematical and problem-solving skills that are highly valued in higher education and future careers. The 0625 and 0972 syllabuses cover the same content and assessments, with the main difference being the grading scale used in different administrative zones.
