Course summary

During the course, you will learn about our current understanding of the universe, from the tiniest subatomic particles and the fundamental forces that dictate their behaviour to the nature of stars, galaxies, space and time. By the end of the course, you will not only have learnt about how nature works but equally importantly you will have developed a range of valuable skills including analytical, critical and creative thinking, the ability to collect, analyse and interpret evidence, powers of logical deduction and effective communication of complex information in a variety of formats. Success in Physics is prized both by universities and employers as a sign of a strong intellect, and the possession of these skills is a highly valued qualification for a wide variety of scientific, technical, commercial and creative professions.

Entry requirements

• At least 5 GCSEs at 8 or 9 and three grades at 7. • GCSE grade 8 or 9 in your chosen Level subjects. • GCSE grade 7 or above in Mathematics and English Language. • For two science A Levels, or Maths alongside science, at least a grade 8 will be needed in both subjects. Generally, those who put the most into the subject gain the most satisfaction from it. Candidates taking A-level physics will be expected to have at least a grade 8 in Physics GCSE. It is not necessary to take A Level Mathematics to study Physics to A Level, but students should have at least a grade 8 in Mathematics GCSE. (Students should note that it is difficult to study Physics beyond school without Maths A Level.)
