Physics is about unravelling the universe to try and find out how it works. Discoveries in Physics have been at the heart of most advances in technology. It is an exciting and challenging subject to study, requiring an enquiring mind and clear thinking. The range of ideas in Physics could not be greater - from observing the furthest reaches of the universe to experiments on the inner secrets of the nucleus. The rewards of physics include a deeper understanding of the universe and the development of skills that are highly sought after by both universities and employers.
4 GSCE Grades B/5 or above, plus at least a Grade 4 in English Language and Mathematics. If students have taken Separate Sciences at GCSE, they must have achieved grade 6 or above in Physics plus one other from Chemistry or Biology. If students have taken Combined Science at GCSE, it is desirable that students have achieved grade 7 or above. It is also recommended that one of your other A level subjects be mathematics.
In the AS and A-level courses you will be assessed 100% through examination. The A-level course will also have a practical endorsement taken along-side the written examinations, which does not contribute to the final A-level grade.
