Physics focuses on the way the world works; fixated within forces, processes and entities that make up and help us to comprehend the astrological workings of the Universe. At A-Level, students may re-visit familiar theories and concepts explored at GCSE, although the emphasis and depth to which these are explored will be heightened, developing mathematical and experimental context. In Year 12, forces, waves, energy, electricity and motion make up the core topics, along with the newly studied concept of Quantum Physics. In Year 13, students will extend their knowledge, exploring fields, capacitors and Medical and Thermal Physics. Practical skills are also heavily focused on with your experimental capabilities being assessed in a separate Practical Endorsement qualification alongside the A-Level Certificate. The course incorporates many transferable skills such as numerical reasoning, problem solving and critical thinking, all of which are extremely beneficial in the work place. Such skills may lead to careers in Engineering, Architecture and Astrophysics.
- 6 or above in at least 2 Sciences, one of which must be Physics and a 6 or above in Maths - To study at Beauchamp City Sixth Form, students are required to achieve six grade 5s, including at least a grade 5 in English Language or Literature as well as a grade 5 in Maths.
