Physics explores the deepest questions we have concerning how the universe works, from the strange and fascinating quantum world to the behaviour of entire galaxies. Students will develop their understanding of intriguing topics, such as electric and magnetic fields, particle physics and medical imaging.
To study A-level or IB Physics, students should achieve a grade 7 in Mathematics and Physics at GCSE or IGCSE level. Equivalent qualifications will also be accepted.
How will I be assessed? Papers 1 and 2 (Each paper contributes to 37% of the final grade) Both papers cover the full breadth of physics studied over the two years. Paper 3 (Contributes to 26% of final grade) This paper is slightly shorter and is more synoptic in nature. Portfolio Experimental skills are also taught throughout the course and you will develop a portfolio of evidence for the practical endorsement, which is certified alongside the final A-level grade.
