During the A-Level course, students will focus their learning on practical physics, foundations of wave structure particles, electricity and more. Students will then develop these topics through independent research and deepen their understanding. There is a large jump between GCSE Physics or Science and A Level. You will build on the topics you’ve learnt, but to a much higher level of understanding. Physics is a subject that teaches and refines many transferable skills, leaving you with lots of options at the end of the course. You will be more creative, gain experience working in a team, be able to gather relevant information and analyse it effectively. This course is suited to students who have a keen interest in the universe around them, who enjoy problem solving and want to understand how the world around them works. It is suitable for students who have both enjoyed and been successful in GCSE physics and mathematics. It is an essential A-Level for anyone interested in pursuing pure science, mathematics, engineering and many other degree courses. Physics A Level is particularly suitable preparation for Higher Education courses in Pure Sciences, Applied and Vocational Sciences, Astronomy, Meteorology, Computer Science, Television, Engineering, Electronics, Medicine, Veterinary Science, Architecture and Mathematics.
To study this course you will need to achieve 36 - 48 points and a Grade 7 in GCSE Physics Calculating your Point Score • Points have the same numerical value as the grade achieved. For example a Grade 5 is equivalent to 5 points. • Combined Science GCSE counts as two GCSEs and the two grades should be combined. For example a 7/6 would be 13 points. • For students who have studied a Level 2 BTEC Qualification the following conversions should be used: Distinction* : 8 Points Distinction: 7 Points Merit: 6 Points Pass: 5 Points
All assessments will be through examinations at the end of the course. Practical tasks will be completed throughout the course and will also contribute to understanding of scientific processes assessed on the examination papers.
