AQA A-Level Physics provides students with a deep understanding of the fundamental principles of the physical world. The course covers topics such as mechanics, electricity, waves, particle physics, and energy. Students will develop problem-solving and analytical skills through practical experiments and theoretical study. This qualification prepares students for further study in physics, engineering, medicine, or other STEM fields, and equips them with the skills needed for careers in research, technology, and science-based industries.
In addition to satisfying our Sixth Form entry requirements, students must achieve a Grade 6 in GCSE Physics or Grade 6-6 in GCSE Combined Science.
AQA A-Level Physics is assessed through three written exams: Paper 1: Covers topics such as particle physics, mechanics, and materials. Paper 2: Focuses on electricity, waves, and fields. Paper 3: Assesses practical skills, data analysis, and the investigation of experimental work, including questions on practical techniques and the application of practical knowledge. Practical skills are also assessed throughout the course, and students must complete a set of required practical activities. These contribute to the practical endorsement, which is a separate pass/fail assessment. There is no coursework component.
