If you have a passion for understanding how things work and enjoy asking the ‘big questions’, then you should study Physics. Physics is a wide-ranging subject - from the largest galaxies to the smallest subatomic particles, and from the start of the universe to its end. It is an exciting, challenging and rapidly-evolving field, requiring imagination, problemsolving abilities and good mathematical skills. Our Physics students often go on to study Physics, Mathematics, Computing or Engineering at university. There is much demand for graduates in these areas, with excellent employment prospects, attractive salaries, and high levels of job satisfaction. What skills or background will be needed? If you wish to follow the A level Physics course you should have gained a grade 7 or higher in GCSE Combined Science or Physics, and grade 7 in Mathematics. It is strongly recommended to study A level Mathematics alongside A level Physics as the two subjects support each other well. Physics may be combined with Mathematics and any other subjects, but would be a strong complementary subject to Chemistry, Biology, Design and Technology, or Computing.
The requirements for entry to the Sixth Form are six good grades (9 - 6) at GCSE unless there are extenuating circumstances. Given the demands of A-level study, you should have attained at least a grade 7 in the subjects you wish to study at A level (or ideally a grade 9 in Mathematics if you wish to study Further Mathematics). Throughout Year 11 you are given a great deal of guidance to select the course of study that best suits your academic needs and career aspirations.
Modelling Physics (assesses modules 1, 2, 3 and 5) Exploring Physics (assesses modules 1, 2, 4 and 6) Unified Physics (assesses all 6 modules) Practical Endorsement (internally assesses module 1)
