The Physics A Level is studied over two years with exams held at the end of the course. The A Level Physics course is innovative; it provides a distinctive structure within which students learn both about fundamental physical concepts and about the applications of physics in everyday and technological settings. You will find out how physics is practiced and used today, as well as see the usefulness of the subject and understand the impact that discoveries in physics have had on the way people live. It is designed to provide a sound understanding and knowledge of physics whilst developing a range of other skills, including investigative skills, research skills, and the ability to learn independently.
Five 9 to 4 grades including a 4 or better in English Language (a Level 2 pass or above in BTEC/OCR courses counts as 1 GCSE). Min Aps 6 Math 7 6 in all sciences taken. Strongly advise students to also study A Level Math
