In an increasingly globalised world, it is important for learners to develop the key knowledge and skills needed to be one step ahead of the competition. The Higher level IB Physics course is designed to prepare students for such a world while, at the same time, encouraging them to feed their curiosity about how the universe works. Learners will study a broad range of exciting topics, such as quantum and nuclear physics, electromagnetic induction and thermodynamics.
In order 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 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.
