Through studying Physics pupils develop the ability for innovative thought and problem-solving. Their interest is stimulated so that they feel encouraged to continue their studies in the subject. The philosophy of the Physics Department is to encourage pupils' analytical skills, rather than their ability to recall factual knowledge. The approach is to ensure that they are given as much first-hand practical experience as possible.
Sixth Form admissions at Malvern College are based on entrance tests and an interview with a member of the College’s academic staff. Applicants must pass the College’s standard entry criteria including an online CAT4 test and an English test (Oxford Placement Test) to qualify. If successful, conditional offers are made, requiring a minimum of six (I)GCSE passes. In addition, ‘7’ or above will be required for pupils studying Maths A level and ‘8’ or above for those wanting to study Further Maths A level or IB Higher Level Maths. While a grade of ‘7’ or above is advisable for A level or IB higher level Science subjects, it is not essential.
