Physics helps us to understand the world around us. From the swirl of milk in a cup of coffee to the swirl of the arms of a vast galaxy, the equations and concepts that underpin the universe can be explored and explained to reveal the connections in all things. At A Level, Physics students begin to probe deeper into a wide range of concepts with the course covering: Particle & Quantum Physics, Waves & Optics, Linear Mechanics & Circular Motion, Electricity, Fields, Nuclear & Thermal Physics and Astrophysics. Students often seek to study Physics for the challenge it can provide but most recognise that the analytical and problem-solving skills they will develop on the course will be of benefit in their other subjects as well as their later study.
A grade 7 in GCSE Physics (or a grade 7-7 in GCSE Double Award Science) is a minimum entry requirement for A Level, however a grade 8 at GCSE is recommended should you wish to take this subject without one of these supporting Science / Maths subjects. A grade 6 in GCSE Maths is essential but a grade 7 is preferred.
The full A Level assessment consists of three papers, each 2 hours in duration. Alongside the terminal examinations, students are judged against the Common Practical Assessment Criteria (CPACs) during 12 required practical experiments over the two-year course.
