Course summary

Physics is not only interesting, it is also highly marketable. A strong A level in Physics demonstrates that you possess a wide range of key skill – exactly what employers and universities are looking for today. Indeed there can be few subjects at A level that cover such a wide range of transferable skills: the use of IT in data-logging experiments, the numerical skills which form the bedrock of the subject (essential in problem-solving and in practical work) and skills in written expression needed to produce clear, concise explanations.

Entry requirements

Open to 16 to 18-year-olds, our entry requirements depend on whether your child is a UK or international applicant. Prospective students will be invited to an interview with our Sixth Form Leadership Team. Physics suits anyone who is fascinated by how things work, by fundamental questions about the way the world is and by the exactness of science. Studying the subject you will feel that what you learn builds upon what you did at GCSE but in a more mathematical way. You must practice the use of maths in the subject so that it becomes natural to you so you can begin to concentrate on the ideas themselves as they become more complex.
