This course is for students who want to continue studying physics after GCSE. You'll already be familiar with some of the topics like forces and electricity, but the A level will give you the chance to study these and some new ones, in much greater depth. You might be choosing physics because you're headed for a scientific career, though it will give you transferable skills that can be used in a wide range of non-scientific careers too. You'll need a keen interest in the subject and good mathematical skills.
- In addition to the entry requirements mentioned in the Sixth Form Prospectus, you will need to attain a grade 6 or higher at GCSE Physics, or a grade 6,6 or higher in GCSE Combined Science to take this course. - All students will also need to have attained at least a grade 4 in both English (Language or Literature) and Maths.
Assessment is through final examination at the end of the course. There will be 3 papers each of 2 hours duration. Exams will comprise of short, multiple choice and extended answer questions. There will also be a teacher assessed practical.
