Physics is ambitious in its remit, it attempts to understand the nature of energy and matter – in other words it covers almost everything. From the unimaginably small components of matter to the mind-blowing vastness of the universe we will give you an introduction to some of the ideas that underlie physics and the advances we have made in understanding them. The course covers fundamental ideas in physics. You will study: 1. Measurements and their errors 2. Particles and radiation 3. Waves 4. Mechanics and materials 5. Electricity 6. Further mechanics and thermal physics 7. Fields and their consequences 8. Nuclear physics There is also an additional topic comprising one of the following: 9. Astrophysics 10. Medical physics 11. Engineering physics 12. Turning points in physics 13. Electronics
• You should have at least a grade 7 in GCSE maths, and must study maths at A level. • You should have at least a grade 6-6 in GCSE double science, or grade 6s in physics and another science. • You should have at least a grade 5 in GCSE English language. • A combination of physics, biology and chemistry may be appropriate for some students who have ambitions to become doctors, dentists or vets. In this instance we are willing to consider students who wish to study A-level physics without A-level maths.
This is a two-year linear linear A-level course. In the second year of the course, you will take external exams that assess content covered in the first and second years. These exams will determine your A-level grade. There are three papers at the end of the second year: • Paper 1 - sections 1 to 5 and 6.1 (periodic motion) – 34% • Paper 2 - sections 6.2 (thermal physics), 7 and 8 – 34% • Paper 3 - Section A: practical skills and data analysis. Section B: additional topic (one of sections 9 to 13) - 32% A separate endorsement of practical skills will be taken alongside the A level. This will be assessed by your teacher and will be based on direct observation of your competency in a range of skills not assessable in written exams.
