Physics

Course summary

A Level Physics takes you from the motion of everyday objects such as bikes and fair ground rides, electrical circuits and gases, to the subatomic particles that make up atoms. At the other end of the scale we look at the forces that led to the formation of the universe and evidence used to determine its future fate. You will also do plenty of practical work and learn to work precisely and analyse the certainty of data. You will need strong maths skills to succeed on this course and almost all students take an A Level in Maths to complement it.
