Physics

Entry Requirements

Grade 8 (or 88 in Double Science) Physics GCSE is the minimum requirement to study Physics A Level. Experience from the new GCSE specifications has shown that only at this level are pupils likely to have the sufficiently strong scientific skills and knowledge to cope with A Level Physics. Physics has traditionally linked to Mathematics and a minimum of a grade 7 at GCSE in Mathematics would be advisable to access the Physics course. While taking Mathematics A Level is not necessary to be able to study Physics, pupils embarking upon the course who are not studying Mathematics will be expected to attend offtimetable support lessons to cover certain Mathematical concepts required for A Level Physics.
