Course summary

Physics is the fundamental science. It is central to our understanding of the nature of matter and the universe around us and the basis of all developments in high technology and engineering. Physicists tackle problems at the frontiers of knowledge, looking for new phenomena and insights into the workings of nature. They also work on challenges arising in the application of physical ideas to industrial problems. Studying for an A Level in Physics will give you the opportunity to explore and understand the world and beyond, from the smallest parts of atoms to the planets, stars and the universe itself. You will develop numerical, analytical, and practical skills that are highly sought after by both universities and employers.
