Studying physical A-level strengths quantitative reasoning and problem-solving skills that are valuable in areas beyond physics. Physics is the broadest of all sciences, looking from the minute to the supermassive. We consider it to be what people love about maths and science, all in one place. Year 12: - Development of practical skills in physics - Foundations in physics - Forces & motion - Electrons, waves, and photons Year 13: - Development of practical skills in physics - Newtonian world and astrophysics - Particles and medical physics Physics students have skills that are in high demand in diverse sectors. These include skills relating to numeracy, problem-solving, data analysis, and the communication of complex ideas, as well as a wider understanding of how the world works, on a scientific and human level. Past students have ventured into medicine, engineering, and computing. With A-level physics students have a sought-after qualification for universities and employers.
To undertake advanced level courses you will require a minimum of five GCSEs in five separate subjects, at grade C or above, including English and Mathematics, both at least a minimum of grade 4. BTEC qualifications will count as one subject and must be graded a Distinction or above. Physics GCSE grade B or grade 6 is required, students must have studied either Triple or Additional Science.
Four units, 3 examined, one practical.
