Physics

Entry Requirements

Minimum I/GCSE Grade 7 on the 9-1 scale. As well as an interest in the subject matter, pupils should have Level 7 or above in either Physics or in two Science GCSEs, as well as Level 7 or above in GCSE Mathematics. You must bear in mind that Physics does involve a lot of calculation, and the ability to handle equations and numbers quickly, confidently and accurately is an essential part of the A Level course. There are also some mathematical ideas required at A Level that are not covered by GCSE Mathematics syllabuses, so pupils who intend to take the subject should seriously consider taking Mathematics as well.
