Physics A-level is a suitable choice for anyone who has enjoyed Physics at GCSE and wishes to expand their knowledge further as well as those who wish to study science or engineering at university. Physics is one of the most fundamental scientific disciplines, with its main goal being to understand how the universe behaves. Consequently, the A Level course involves a range of classical physics topics such as motion and gravity as well as modern physics including particle physics and special relativity. Physics Alevel opens the door to a wide range of possible careers in areas such as medical imaging, meteorology, finance, engineering and astronomy.
Achieve a minimum of five Grade 6s (B Grades) at GCSE with a minimum of Grade 5 in English Language and Mathematics. Grade 6 in Maths. Grade 7,6 in combined Science GCSE or grade 6 in GCSE Physics. Those students with a 7,6 grade in Combined Science are expected to have achieved a grade 7 in the Physics components.
Paper 1 (34%) – 2 hours: Topics 1 to 5 and the further mechanics part of topic 6 Multiple choice, short answer and long answer questions Paper 2 (34%) – 2 hours All topics covered but with main focus on the thermal physics part of topic 6, topic 7 and topic 8. Multiple choice, short answer and long answer questions Paper 3 (32%) – 2 hours Practical skills and data analysis (with assumed knowledge of all topics) Turning Points in Physics Short answer and long answer questions
