Physics is at the heart of everything and is the basis of all the natural sciences. We live in a society that is entirely based on science, technology and engineering. This means that physics is the future and is a highly rewarding discipline to study. Physics answers the big questions, like how does everything in the universe work? From quantum particles to galaxies, from Hollywood special efects to nuclear accelerators and the Higgs boson, from living things to nanotechnology robots, from thought processes to the eye of a storm, it’s all physics. If you have an enquiring mind, always asking why things happen, then physics will help you find the answers.
Normally we would consider the candidate’s projected or actual GCSE results. Generally we expect candidates to obtain at least five GCSEs at grade 5 and above in order to follow an AS/A level programme, with at least grade 6 in the subjects selected for studying at A level, or in relevant subjects where a student is starting a subject from scratch (such as Psychology or Business Studies). We reserve the right to alter these expectations on a case-by-case basis. Those not undertaking GCSEs will need to show suitable ability.
Component 01: Modelling Physics - testing Modules 1, 2, 3 and 5 2 hours 15 minutes written paper: 100 marks 37% of total A level Component 02: Exploring Physics - testing Modules 1, 2, 4 and 6. 2 hours 15 minutes written paper: 100 marks 37% of total A level Component 03: Unified Physics – testing all Modules (1 to 6) 1 hour 30 minutes written paper: 70 marks 26% of total A level Component 04 (non-exam assessment) The Practical Endorsement can form part of the A level. A level students only can be entered for Component 04. ‘Practical endorsement in Physics’ and the grade in their final award is endorsed accordingly. This is teacher assessed and evidenced. This will be a separately reported result
