Course summary

Physics tries to solve all of Science’s biggest questions. e AQA A Level Physics course will challenge your imagination with new concepts like Special Relativity and Quantum Physics whilst building on the fundamental concepts learnt at IGCSE including Mechanics, Waves, Nuclear Physics, Electricity and Magnetism to allow you to develop both breadth and depth in your understanding of natural scientic phenomena. Mathematics is integral to the study of A Level Physics and you will be introduced to how more sophisticated mathematical functions are applied in Science and you will develop and hone your numerical problem-solving skills. e course has an emphasis on practical work including 12 required practicals for the practical endorsement. However, the breadth of experimental work will provide you with a good grounding in the experimental techniques needed for university and will introduce you to more detailed analytical skills. While practical work remains integral for the AS Level Course, there is not a practical endorsement.

Entry requirements

• A minimum of seven I/GCSEs at grade 9-7. • /GCSEs at grade 9 or 8 in the subjects being studied at A-level, if studied to I/GCSE. To study an A-level subject not on offer at I/GCSE, I/GCSE at grade 9 or 8 in a similar subject is strongly recommended. • To study A-levels in Mathematics, Physics or Chemistry, grade 9 in the subject(s) at I/GCSE is strongly recommended. • To study A-level Further Mathematics, grade 9 at I/GCSE Mathematics is required. Grade 9 or 8 in AQA Level 2 Certificate in Further Mathematics is strongly recommended.
