Physics is both a worthwhile subject in itself and a subject greatly valued beyond school. While it has a reputation for being difficult, it also has a considerable market value. Universities and the engineering industry are very keen to attract girls to read Physics or Physical Engineering at university. In many fields such as medicine, communications, computer technology, media, electronics, and optics a qualification in Physics is seen as essential or at least desirable. Development of practical skills, Foundations of Physics, Forces and Motion, Electrons waves and photons, Newtonian world and Astrophysics, Particles and Medical Physics.
Candidates must have a minimum of 6 GCSEs grade 6 and above, including maths and English, and grade 7s in the A-level subjects they wish to study (where relevant).
There are three examination papers: • Paper 1 (37%) covers the development of practical skills, Foundations of Physics, Forces and Motion, Electrons waves and photons, the Newtonian world and Astrophysics. It consists of multiple choice questions and short answer questions involving structured, problem-solving, calculations and practical work. • Paper 2 (37%): Development of practical skills, Foundations of Physics, Electrons waves and photons, Particles and Medical Physics. It consists of multiple choice questions and short answer questions involving structured, problem-solving, calculations and practical work. • Paper 3 (26%): Contains all elements of the course and is synoptic. It consists of short and long answer questions involving structured, problem-solving, calculations and practical work. Practical work is integral to the course and is reported separately. Students are expected to have strong mathematical skills as 40% of the marks available within written examinations will be for the assessment of high-level mathematics.
