Combines well with many subjects e.g. Biology, Chemistry, Maths, IT, DT, Geography, Music, Philosophy, Business Studies, etc. Facilitates entry into the widest range of University courses. Physics degrees are combined with a huge range of other disciplines. Most students enjoy Physics at A level and retain this interest. Year 12 1 - Measurement and their errors. 2 - Particles and radiation 3 - Waves 4 - Mechanics and materials 5 - Electricity Year 13 6 - Further Mechanics (6.1) and Thermal Physics (6.2) 7 - Fields and their consequences 8 - Nuclear Physics OPTIONS - Astrophysics - Medical Physics - Engineering Physics - Turning points in physics - Electronics
Students need to have achieve at least 3 grade 5’s and 2 grade 4’s at GCSE level. Those students wanting to study A-level physics need to have gained at least a grade 6 in Mathematics at GCSE. Ideally, students will have studied separate Chemistry, Biology, and Physics GCSEs and have gained at least grade 6 in Chemistry, Biology, and Physics. Trilogy GCSE students should have gained at least 6,6 in their science GCSEs.
Paper 1 (85 marks) 60 marks for short and long questions on year 12 topics and SHM from year 13. 25 multiple-choice questions on the same content. Paper 2 (85 marks) 60 marks of short and long questions on Thermal physics and topics 7 and 8 from year 13. 25 multiple-choice questions on the same content. Paper 3 45 marks of short and long questions on practical experiments and data analysis. 35 marks of short and long questions on an optional topic. Practical Endorsement - throughout the course but does not affect the grade.
