Physicists study how the relationships between matter, forces, and energy cause natural phenomena such as gravity, light, and magnetism. Physicists are interested in understanding how the universe works and how that understanding can be used for the good of our global community. Students study physics because they want to meet the entry requirements for courses and careers in medical physics, computing, electronics, chemistry, physics, and engineering. Physics is recognized by many employers as a facilitating subject that develops excellent problem-solving and analytical skills. It is a practical subject with interesting areas of study such as Astrophysics, Medical Physics, Particle Physics, and Nanotechnology. All Physics students will have the opportunity to undertake a field trip to the CERN, Geneva, Switzerland.
34 points minimum. To study any science at A-Level a student must achieve a minimum of a Grade 5 on all Science GCSEs on the higher tier (Grade 6 preferred). A Grade 5 in Mathematics is required for A-level Physics. Grade 5 achievement will require an interview with the Head of Science to ensure suitability
Assessment is by means of three examinations which are taken at the end of the two-year course and a practical endorsement which is assessed in the classroom over the two-year period. The Forces and Motion module is assessed with the Electrons Waves and Photons module in the Modelling Physics examination; the Newtonian World is assessed with Particles and Medical Physics in the Exploring Physics examination. The third examination, Unified Physics, assesses content from all teaching modules.
