Course summary

Physicists combine a wide variety of skills; they are literate, numerate, can solve complex problems and are highly sought after by prospective employers.

Entry requirements

To be successful, students will need at least GCSE grade 7 in Physics and a grade 7 in another Science. Studying A-level Mathematics is an additional requirement. Those candidates who have studied Double Award Science will have some preparatory work to do but should be successful if they obtain two grade 7s.

How you'll be assessed

This will consist of three exams. Practical Assessment: All students will take a minimum of 12 practicals across the A-level course covering a common core list of apparatus and technique usage. There will also be questions in the exam papers that will test students’ knowledge and understanding of their practical work. Alongside their A-level grade based on their exams a ‘pass’ or ‘fail’ grade will be given for practical work in lessons.
