Physics is a rewarding, challenging and varied subject. It can appeal both to those with a gift for practical work and to those who enjoy thinking about the nature and future of the universe. It provides an opportunity to develop numeracy, logical thought and practical skills. It is a very popular choice at A-Level, often combined with mathematics or other sciences, and complements a wide range of other A-Levels. Core topics: 1. Measurement and their errors 2. Particles and Radiation 3. Waves 4. Mechanics and Materials 5. Electricity 6. Further Mechanics 7. Fields and their Consequences 8. Nuclear Physics Option topics: 9. Astrophysics 10. Medical Physics 11. Engineering 12. Turning Points
Students with a genuine interest in physics and sufficient aptitude to complete an A-Level course successfully are likely to have achieved grade 7 or above in GCSE Physics or the equivalent in Trilogy Science. As physics is a numerate subject, competence and confidence in mathematics is required. It is not, however, necessary to study mathematics beyond GCSE to be successful in A-Level physics.
A-Level: Three written exams covering all 6 modules There will also be a practical pass/fail endorsement based on performance in 12 practical tasks.
