Physics

Entry Requirements

There are many areas of the course that support or draw on the ideas that are met in the other sciences and, as Physics is a quantitative science, there is a considerable use of mathematics. New mathematical ideas are tackled within the course when they arise, and although it is helpful for students to study Mathematics in the Sixth Form, it is not essential. It is more important for the student to have an enquiring mind and to display a sense of curiosity, which will be rewarded by a course which is interesting, useful and fun to follow. Students wishing to study Physics must have obtained at least a grade 7 in GCSE Physics (Separate Award) or grade 7/8 in the Combined Science Award.
