Physics at the college is proving to be a popular choice. The department has very good facilities and students have opportunities to carry out investigations and observe demonstrations that support the content of the course. The A Level Physics course introduces new topics as well as builds on previous studies in Physics. The aim is to understand scientific methods and gain awareness of advances in technology through a variety of theoretical and practical modules. Year 1: Foundations in physics, forces, and motion, electrons, waves, and photons Year 2: Newtonian world and astrophysics, particles and medical physics Development of practical skills takes place across the course
You must have a grade 6 or above in Separate Sciences or a Grade 6 in Combined Science. It is essential to have a good working knowledge of Biology and Chemistry to understand aspects of the course and a grade 6 in GCSE Maths is required. A Level of Maths would complement this course significantly.
• Paper 1: Modelling physics, 2hrs 15mins, 37% weighting • Paper 2: Exploring physics, 2hrs 15mins, 37% weighting • Paper 3: Unified physics, 1hr 30min, 26% weighting • Practical skills are assessed through the practical endorsement framework. This does not contribute to the overall grade
