We aim to develop the student’s interest in, and enthusiasm for physics, including developing an interest in further study and careers in physics or physics related subjects. Students will gain an understanding of how society makes decisions about scientific issues and how the sciences contribute to the success of the economy and society. They will learn about how both qualitative and quantitative processes can be used to gain knowledge and will develop essential knowledge and understanding of different areas of Physics and how they relate to each other. A level Physics is a very good indicator of a student’s academic ability and, therefore, highly regarded by most universities for courses including Law and Accountancy. In particular, Physics is essential for those wishing to study a Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Architecture or Medicine degree.
