The aim of the Physics course is to teach a sound knowledge and understanding of physical principles together with developing scientific problem-solving skills both practical and theoretical in nature. The course seeks to develop an enthusiasm for the subject and stimulate enquiring minds. Physics leads to many possible university courses and careers, which can vary from pure research to science journalism and can provide useful background and insight into some of the most exciting scientific developments today as well as demonstrating a student's ability to grasp and manipulate complex ideas. Questions assessing mathematical skills at Level 2 or above will form 40% of the marks across the three papers.
Two separate Science GCSEs at Grade 6 or above including Physics, or alternatively two GCSEs Grade 6 or above from combined Science.
