If you’re up for shaping tomorrow’s world, an A Level in Physics could take you to the frontline of the latest emerging technology. Whether you are working in a field directly related to Physics like Nuclear Physics or Astronomy, or one that simply uses the skills you’ve gained, your Physics A Level can really help you to make a difference. The aim of the course is to provide a stepping stone from GCSE to Advanced Physics including Quantum Physics, Medical Physics, Nuclear Physics, Mechanics and Magnetism. It prepares students not only for studying Physics further but any course and career which requires logical thinking and a structured approach to problem solving.
Minimum level 5 in five separate subjects at GCSE including English and a 6 in Mathematics and Physics. Students are expected to achieve a minimum of grade 5 or above at GCSE to be considered for A Level and BTEC courses.
As a linear course, all examinations take place at the end of year 13. There are three examinations which will each assess various content from all topics as well as relevant practical skills. · Paper 1 covers topics 1-5 and 6.1 will contribute 34% of the final A-level grade. · Paper 2 covers topics 6.2-8 and will contribute 34% of the final A-level grade. · Paper 3 covers content from practical tasks completed over the year and the optional topic and will contribute 32% of the final A-level.
