Physics is at the heart of everything and is a highly rewarding discipline to study at school, university and beyond. It forms the basis of most modern technologies and holds the future to global well-being. At Berkhamsted we follow the AQA Specification Physics 7408 as we believe the approach gives students a broad grounding in this discipline whilst also fostering an interest in more unusual topics. It is our intention to inspire students, nurture a passion for this subject and support them in their applications to relevant university courses.
Students require at least Grade 7 in GCSE Physics or Grade 8/7 in Double Award Science. Students will also preferably have a Grade 7 or better in GCSE Mathematics. Although it is not absolutely necessary to study A Level Mathematics alongside Physics, most students will do so (this is particularly applicable to anyone wishing to study Physics or Engineering at university)
