The AQA specification has been chosen because it is a good foundation for any university science course and it has the advantage of optional sections in the second year. The options system allows a pupil to look at the applications of physical principles in an area that may be appropriate for their chosen degree.
Places are offered subject to candidates' achieving a minimum of 42 grade points on the best seven GCSEs including English and Maths. Normally we would expect at least a grade 7 (or an A grade) in each subject to be studied in the Lower Sixth and at least a 6 (or a B grade) in English and Maths.
The course is examined by three papers at A level and there is an internally assessed Practical Endorsement.
