Physics helps you to understand the fundamental laws that describe and explain our universe. Studying Physics at this level can enable you to gain access to a wide range of degrees and will develop proficiency in problem-solving, analysing and interpreting data, as well as fostering practical skills. The history of many key developments in our understanding of Physics is explained and you will discover how theories governing our universe have developed. You will also learn the physics behind many common appliances and instruments used in industry and at home. In the modern world, an understanding of Physics empowers you to form educated opinions about current issues such as climate change, alternative energy, nuclear power and treatment of nuclear waste.
To begin our Sixth Form programme you need to have achieved at least 59 points from your nine best (I)GCSEs. The following tariff explains the points system: 9 - 8 points 8 - 8 points 7 - 7 points 6 - 6 points 5 - 5 points 4 -4 points 3 -3 points Grade 8 in (I)GCSE Physics or Grade 8/8 in (I) GCSE Double Award Science, plus Grade 8 in Mathematics
The A-level material is covered as a two-year course designed to highlight connections between the topics and to reinforce and extend learning. Practical skills are developed throughout the course and assessed as part of the written papers. The assessment takes the form of three 2-hour papers: Paper 1: Particles and Quantum Phenomena, Mechanics, Waves, Electricity and Periodic Motion Paper 2: Fields, Further Mechanics, Nuclear Physics and Thermal Physics Paper 3: Practical Skills and Astrophysics
