Physicists explore the fundamental nature of almost everything we know of. They probe the furthest reaches of the earth to study the smallest pieces of matter. Join them to enter a world deep beneath the surface of normal human experience. Topics Covered" A Level of Physics lasts two years, with exams at the end of the second year. The table below shows the topics covered in each year. - AS and first year of A Level ( Measurements and their errors, Particles and radiation, Waves, Mechanics and energy, Electricity) - Second year of A level ( Further mechanics, Thermal physics, Fields, Nuclear physics) - Plus one option from the following; • Astrophysics • Medical physics • Engineering physics • Turning points in physics Electronics
A Level Physics builds on the work done in GCSE Physics and Maths, so you’ll need a minimum of grade 6 in Maths or grade 7 in Physics. Written communication is also important and you’ll need to be a strong writer.
There is no coursework on this course. However, your performance during practicals will be assessed. There are three exams at the end of the two years for A Level, all of which are two hours long.
