Taking AS or A-level Physics will allow you to explore how the universe works and encourage you to approach the world not just logically, but with curiosity and a sense of wonder. It will allow you to acquire and develop skills relating to the scientific method that is not only relevant to your science studies but can be applied to other disciplines and everyday life. An ability to express yourself clearly and concisely whilst using scientific terminology accurately is necessary. The maths involved is more of a basic arithmetic requirement than anything else. If you can rearrange an equation and then enter values into it to calculate an answer then you are qualified to do the course. Physics is often taken with other scientific subjects and Mathematics. In the past, pupils have even studied Physics in contrast to their other subjects such as Art and Modern Languages. Modules 1 to 4 constitute the stand-alone AS Level qualification; Modules 1 to 6, combined with the Practical Endorsement, constitute the full A Level. The modules can be summarised as: MODULE 1: Development of practical skills MODULE 2: Foundations of physics MODULE 3: Forces and motion MODULE 4: Electrons, waves, and photons MODULE 5: Newtonian world and astrophysics MODULE 6: Particles and medical physics
