‘Physics is everything’. So what do you need to know to be able to find out about everything? A background in GCSE/ IGCSE Science is crucial. A Grade 7 or above at GCSE Physics or Combined Science is highly recommended, as well as a Grade 7 in GCSE Mathematics. The course requires a background in the ability to use algebra and trigonometric techniques in problem solving and the analysis of experimental results. It is highly preferable for a candidate to be studying Mathematics at A Level, too. Although this is not a necessity, it would be more of a challenge to succeed at Physics
