Physics is at the heart of everything, from the far reaches of the Universe, right down to the minuscule internal structures of the atom. Physicists are actively collaborating with other researchers and applying their knowledge and technical skills in response to the major challenges of our time, such as sustainable sources of future energy, understanding our changing climate and global food security. Everyday technology, such as smartphones and GPS devices, would not exist today without Physics research. We will cover many familiar topics, such as forces and motion, electricity, and waves but in more depth than at GCSE. New topics such as quantum physics, particle accelerators and cosmology make this a challenging yet immensely rewarding option. Students go on to study degree courses in Physics, Engineering, Mechanical/Electronic/Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Medicine and Astrophysics. The skills you will develop by studying Physics are those that employers will be looking for in new recruits and the range of potential career paths is huge.
5 GCSEs of at least a grade 5 including Maths and English. All applications will be considered on an individual basis.
