UNL71
This course will provide you with a basic understanding of physics in order to move into tertiary level studies in the area.
This course will provide you with the background knowledge required to pursue the study of matter and its motion through space and time. A basic understanding of physics is needed for those who wish to move into engineering, high military applications, and fields in space studies.
The course concentrates on the concepts and models which physics uses to enhance our understanding of the real world, and the techniques for presenting and analysing data from experimental observations. You'll be introduced to concepts including physical quantities and measurement, thermal physics, forces and motion, optics, energy and momentum, wave motion, electricity and magnetism, electric circuits, and atomic and nuclear physics.
Successful completion of this course will give you the confidence to apply the basic laws of physics to problem solving situations and is equivalent to Year 11/12 Physics.
Statement of Achievement
During this course you'll receive individual tutorial support from an experienced high school physics teacher via email, phone, and online classrooms and discussion forums.
Unilearn can help you complete prerequisite subjects to meet your university entrance requirements. Unilearn offers a range of online courses that can set you on the pathway to reaching your study goals. The best part is you can study at your own pace and enrol and get started at any time.
No matter what your circumstances, TAFE Queensland has a payment option to suit you. If you are unsure of what’s right for you, get in touch. We’re here to help.
If you have difficulty paying for the full cost of a course upfront, you may be eligible for a payment plan.

Learn moreSolid advanced math is needed for this subject and we recommend completion of our senior mathematics course prior to studying physics.
Unilearn has assumed that by enrolling into an online unit you are familiar with computers and are able to use programs such as Word, Excel and Adobe Reader as well as complete simple tasks such as the Save-As function, attaching a file, saving a low resolution image and inserting images and working with tables within Word documents.
Purchasing the Physics textbook is not required as there is an alternative, online version available in the online classroom. However, many students benefit from having the hardcopy. This can be purchased via the QLD Textbook Warehouse (http://www.qtw.com.au). Type “UNL71PHYS” in the search field at the top of their website homepage.
If you want to go on to further study at university, TAFE Queensland has a pathway option to get you there. In many cases, completing one of our diplomas may give you a full year of credit towards a degree with one of our partner universities.
