This is a demanding A level subject. It requires a genuine interest in Physics and how the world around us works. A strong mathematical ability and a good grasp of English are both essential. These abilities and a willingness to really think about the subject, as well as good study skills and motivation, will make the course more enjoyable and, ultimately, successful. Ideally, students should have attained a good grade (not less than C) in (I)GCSE Physics and Mathematics
Any pupils not gaining five GCSE passes at Level 4 or above must continue with the necessary number of GCSE courses until they have achieved at least five passes. All pupils (excluding overseas students) must gain at least a Level 4 in Mathematics and English.
