Physics

Entry Requirements

The basic entry requirement onto most courses is a minimum of a grade 6 at GCSE in an appropriate subject, however, those students who embark on A Level studies with a grade 7 or above are likely to find the transition much easier. In some cases, there may be further restrictions e.g. a minimum of a grade 6 in Maths to do Physics. Please see the following individual subject pages for further details. Students must also have achieved at least a grade 4 in both Maths and either English Language or Literature to qualify for entry into the Sixth Form. Students wishing to study Physics in the Sixth Form should have achieved at least a grade 6 in GCSE Physics or grades 66 in Double Science. In the case of the latter, students must have achieved at least a grade 6 in the Physics components. All prospective candidates should also have a grade 6 or better in GCSE Mathematics.
