Physics

Course summary

Students will study six modules that are examined at the end of the two-year course of the A level. Throughout the course, there is ample opportunity to explore the world of physics through practical activities and interactive lessons. Students will develop their physics and maths skills throughout the course. Examples of topics that will be covered during the course are Motion; Work, Energy & Power; Quantum Physics; Astrophysics & Cosmology; Electromagnetism & Medical Imaging. Students studying Physics can go on to study engineering, astrophysics, nuclear engineering and Physics at university or they could undertake an apprenticeship within the field of engineering. Students have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of practical activities and develop valuable skills that enable them to access university courses or apprenticeships. The course is designed to further students’ problem-solving skills and to use their physics knowledge in the practical application of the subject within real-world contexts.
