H1 Physics is offered at the Junior College (JC) level, building on the assumed knowledge and foundation that students have gained from O-Level Physics.
The syllabus, released by Singapore’s Ministry of Education (MOE) under code 8867, sets out the key topics, learning outcomes, and assessment objectives that students are expected to master.
Note: This is a newly introduced syllabus, with the first year of examination scheduled for 2026.
