Physics deals with questions about the fundamental nature of our Universe. How do matter and energy behave within it? How can we harness both to our greatest advantage? The application of physics principles can be used to help solve some of the most pressing problems of our time such as how we can meet the ever-increasing demand for energy.
For all advanced level (Level 3) courses such as GCE A levels and BTEC Level 3, the entry requirement will be 5 GCSEs at grade 4 or above (including Maths and English). For most subjects a GCSE grade 9—6 is required in the chosen or related subject or a merit at a BTEC Level 2. Students should preferably have a grade 7 (or above) in the associated GCSE single science. Students who have a GCSE Combined Science qualification should have a grade of 77 (or above), although those with high grade 6’s will be considered.
Paper 1: 1 hour and 45 minutes - 90 marks (30%) Paper 2: 1 hour and 45 minutes - 90 marks (30%) Paper 3: General and Practical Physics. Tests knowledge of all topics. 2 hour and 30 minutes - 120 marks (40%)
