Physics examines the basic questions of “how” and “why” producing theories to explain what happens, while developing new and worthwhile applications. What is matter made of? Is an electron a particle or a wave? Why is the sky blue? What exactly is a CT or MRI scan? A Level Physics is one of the most useful qualifications for a student intending to pursue a scientific career, and is essential for disciplines such as engineering. Physicists need to be naturally curious, able to adapt easily to new, unique – and sometimes complex – problems. A Level Physics gives an insight into recent scientific thinking, including the latest developments in particle physics, and also provides a worthwhile and challenging course of study.
Pupils who have followed GCSE courses are normally required to have: • taken at least 8 subjects • achieved Grade 5 or better in Mathematics and English (Language) • achieved the entry standard for their chosen A Level subjects available to him/her in the option groups A minimum Grade 7 is normally required in GCSE/IGCSE Physics although a Grade 6 may be acceptable. Pupils who have taken Combined Science would be expected to gain 7-7. We would normally expect pupils to also have achieved a Grade 7 in Mathematics. In the Sixth Form, Physics has a high mathematical content and anyone weak in mathematics should think seriously before taking up Physics at A Level. Students who are also studying Mathematics at A Level usually find that they have an advantage in Physics.
