Physics

Course summary

Physics A content is split into six modules, which combined with the Practical Endorsement, constitute the full A Level. The modules can be summarised as: • Module 1: Development of practical skills. • Module 2: Foundations of physics. • Module 3: Forces and motion. • Module 4: Electrons, waves, and photons. • Module 5: Newtonian world and astrophysics. • Module 6: Particles and medical physics. Physics is the study of the very nature of matter, motion, and the functioning and mechanics of the Universe. It will give you the opportunity to explore and challenge existing ideas and conventions and engage with the really big questions such as “How did the universe begin?” and “How does the Sun keep on shining?”
