Any A Level subjects can be combined. A Levels can also be studied alongside a BTEC Level 3 Certificate. You will study an AS Level in the first year of this course. Physics is a stimulating, exciting and challenging subject. It is important, not only as a subject in its own right, but also as an essential element in all other natural science, engineering and technology courses. There is also a great deal of enjoyment and satisfaction to be derived from an understanding of the most recent developments in Physics research. We study the AQA A level Physics Syllabus (7408): It provides a seamless transition to A level from previous studies and develops your interest and enthusiasm for Physics. This covers a wide range of topics from elementary particle physics to Newton’s laws; from nuclear physics to gravitational fields. This course is ideal if you want to know how the natural world works in a mathematical way and what the fundamental forces and principles are which underlie the building blocks of the universe. You will be taught through lectures, practical work, and problem solving. You will have access to two fully equipped physics laboratories.
You will need eight GCSEs at grade 4 or above, including English Language, and Maths (grade 6). You will also need a grade 6 in GCSE Physics or Double Award Science. If you have a grade 6 in Maths, a compulsory supplementary Maths course is provided – this requires attendance at an extra Maths lesson per week.
You will be assessed at the end of your first year for the AS Level Physics qualification and assessed at the end of the second year for the full A Level. The exam comprises three papers. You will also be assessed continuously on your practical skills, leading to a practical endorsement at the end of your second year.
