Physics

Course summary

In the technological world in which we live, knowledge of Physics is essential, no matter what career you follow. Physics is needed for all branches of Computer Science and Engineering, be it Civil, Mechanical, Automotive or Aeronautical. It is also widely accepted in the world of science and technology, business, banking and accountancy as well as for work in the media. Physics can also be found firmly rooted in medicine and veterinary science. The A Level course builds on GCSE Physics knowledge and delves into new areas such as particle physics, medical imaging and quantum physics. Lessons are held in two well-equipped labs, and classroom learning is enhanced by a considerable amount of practical work. For those with a wider interest, you will be supported in taking part in Physics Olympiad competitions, and extension work provided by higher education institutions. Support is available to all in the form of extra sessions with teachers when needed.
