Physics is an exciting and varied subject where you study and model the makeup of reality. It is viewed very highly by universities and can open doors to a variety of careers. Physics is an amazing and varied subject where you get to answer the big questions of the universe. From studying the smallest particles and fundamental forces that make up the fabric of our very existence to modelling the structure of galactic superclusters that are so large as to defy the scale of human comprehension, physics allows us to unravel why the universe is as we perceive it. At the cutting edge of science, physicists are using mathematical modelling to unravel the secrets of the universe and apply these to improve peopleʼs lives. Using general relativity to allow GPS signals to accurately pinpoint where you are on the planet, quantum mechanics to create the next generation of computers that can perform calculations at previously unimaginable speeds and developing fusion power stations which will create in inexhaustible supply of green energy from seawater. By studying A-level physics you too can one day contribute to the incredible advancements we are making. Physics is an excellent subject to study for anyone with a logical mathematical mind and a desire to tackle the mysteries of the universe. A Level Studied Particle physics, quantum phenomena, waves, mechanics & materials, electricity, further mechanics, thermal physics, fields & their consequences, nuclear physics, and astrophysics.
At least 5 9-4 grades including English and Mathematics - a minimum of grade 6 at the subject they wish to study.
Paper 1: Particle physics, quantum phenomena, waves, mechanics & materials, electricity. Paper 2: Further mechanics, thermal physics, fields & their consequences, nuclear physics. Paper 3: Practical skills, data analysis & astrophysics.
