If you have an inquisitive mind and would like to discover and understand more about the physical world around you then Physics could be the subject for you. Physics deals with profound questions about the nature of the Universe and with some of the most important, practical, environmental and technological issues of our time. Physics is concerned with observing natural phenomena and man-made systems, trying to understand them and predict what might happen in new and unknown situations. It is a very broad subject and therefore develops skills that are useful outside Physics, e.g. practical and mathematical problem solving, the ability to reason clearly and communicate complex ideas. As well as classical Physics, more modern ideas such as cosmology, medical and nuclear Physics are also studied. The wide range of skills acquired by studying A level Physics mean many career paths are possible including engineering, IT, medicine, finance and of course, rocket scientist!
A minimum of a grade 6 in each Separate Science subject plus a grade 6 in Maths. Or A minimum of a grade 6-6 in Combined Science plus a grade 6 in Maths.
There is no coursework that contributes to the A Level Physics grade but there is a non-examined practical assessment that is reported separately. Knowledge of investigative techniques will be tested in the written exams.
