Physics is the search for the answers to some of the biggest questions. It is about the Universe and how it has come to be how it is today. It is also about how the world works on the smallest scale, that of atoms, nuclei, protons, quarks, and beyond. The products of physics affect our lives every day. Satellite communications and computers affect the way the world now works and how we organize our lives. Advances in medical physics mean earlier diagnosis of illness and potentially better treatment of disease.
Generally, students may be admitted providing they achieve at least Grade 4 in Mathematics and English Language and achieve a minimum of Grade 5 at GCSE in four subjects, only GCSE will be accepted, not other vocational equivalents.

Paper 2 Marks: 85 Weighting: 34% Content: 60 marks for short and long answer questions and 25 multiple choice questions on A-Level (Y13) content. Paper 3 Marks: 80 Weighting: 32% Content: 45 marks of short and long answer questions on practical experiments and data analysis. In addition to this, students must complete several required practicals throughout the course which is then assessed as a separate Practical Endorsement.
