Physics is the study of the forces, particles, interactions and types of energy in the Universe. At A level it involves studying phenomena from the very smallest fundamental particles to the vast nature of the cosmos. A level of Physics is suitable for students who: • Have an interest in, and enjoy Physics • Wish to pursue a career in the Sciences, Engineering, Medicine, Architecture etc. • Enjoy solving logical problems and carrying out investigations
To be eligible for the MPW University Foundation Programme you must: • Be aged 17+ at the start of the programme* • Entry requirements: Successful completion of local high school (either 11 or 12-year system) with good grades • Meet our English entry requirements • January 2 term programme 5.5 IELTS or equivalent (with no less than 5.0 in any single band) – Pearson PTE (42-49), TOEFL iBT (46-59) or Cambridge (162) also accepted. • September 3 term programme 5.0 IELTS or equivalent (with no less than 4.5 in any single band) – Pearson PTE (36-41), TOEFL iBT (35-45) or Cambridge (154) also accepted.
The second-year course of study builds on the foundations laid during the first year of the course and students are expected to carry out a great deal of independent work to develop a broad understanding of the key concepts. A Level Specification – AQA 7408 A level Physics requires topics 1–5, plus: 6. Further mechanics and thermal physics 7. Fields and their consequences 8. Nuclear physics Plus an Option for Topic Assessment Paper 1: Sections 1 to 5 and 6.1 (Periodic motion) Written exam: 2 hours, 85 marks, 34% of A level Questions: 60 marks for short and long answer questions and 25 multiple choice questions on content Paper 2: Sections 6.2 (Thermal Physics), 7 and 8 (and assumed knowledge from sections 1 to 6.1) Written exam: 2 hours, 85 marks, 34% of A level Questions: 60 marks for short and long answer questions and 25 multiple choice questions on content Paper 3: Section A: Practical skills and data analysis.
