As we progress further into the 21st century, the challenges faced by humanity become ever more apparent; however, with these challenges come opportunities. Technology has the potential to help us meet and overcome many of these challenges, and Engineers are working collaboratively across the planet to come up with solutions, but first the world is to be understood and that is where Physics comes in. Physicists are always thinking deeper about the universe around us and have an insatiable curiosity. Using experimentation and mathematics, they are able to build models of the world that predict the future, look into the past and make our present better. The career opportunities are immense; as well as continuing to study this vast subject at university, Physics A level gives one the tools required to study all types of engineering including civil, mechanical, medical, aeronautical and electronic. In addition, many candidates opt for computer science or financial courses as the problem solving skills of physicists are highly sought after.
A Level of Physics is both stimulating and rewarding. Prospective students should ideally have a good grounding in Physics at GCSE, having achieved level 7-7 or above in Trilogy Science or level 7 in GCSE Physics at a Higher Tier Level, plus a good grade in GCSE Mathematics.
There are three examinations, plus a Practical Endorsement (a non-examination assessment of practical skills which takes place throughout the two-year course).
