A context-based course across a broad range of Physics principles including mechanics, waves and electricity. If you are interested in ‘how things work’ across a scale from atoms to galaxies, then this is the course for you. Physics develops skills that are highly prized by employers, such as mathematical ability, analytical thinking, communication of ideas and practical aptitude, making it one of the best vocational subjects to study. Finance and Engineering are the two largest employment sectors for physicists. The course is split over the two years into 11 context-based chapters, covering the Physics involved in Sport, Space Technology, Music, Food production, Medicine, Archaeology, The Eurostar, Media, Particle Physics, Earthquakes & Architecture, Stars & The Universe.
In practice, they should expect to gain a significant number of 8 or 9 grades. We are looking for a minimum of five 8 or 9 grades at GCSE, and at least an 8 in the subjects they wish to study in the Lower Sixth (Year 12),
Academic and practical skills are both assessed, leading to an exam-based grade and a separate practical endorsement certificate. There are 3 terminal exam papers, of which 40% of the content will test mathematical ability. Across the 2 years of study, there is a suite of 16 required practicals that will be used to assess experimental and communication skills.
