Physics

Entry Requirements

As with all A Level subjects, Physics at this level is a lot more demanding than GCSE. It is very helpful if students have at least a grade 7 in GCSE Physics or Additional Science before starting the course, alongside a grade 7 or better in GCSE Maths. Above all we want students who are keen to be fully involved in lessons and are driven by a strong desire to improve and achieve their full potential. Students often ask whether they need to also study A level Mathematics. It is definitely helpful and the vast majority of physics students nationally would study both. Maths would be required to study physics or engineering beyond the sixth form, with Further Maths being a distinct advantage at top universities.
