Students studying Physics require an enquiring mind with an interest in explaining how things interact, from the small scale (Nuclear Physics) to the large scale (Astrophysics). Physics also helps you to develop your reasoning and problem solving skills, equipping you for a wide range of future careers. In the first year students will study: • Measurements and their errors • Particles and Radiation • Waves • Mechanics and Energy • Electricity During the first year there are six required practical experiments that must be taken in class which will provide evidence towards a practical endorsement. In the second year students will build on Year 1 knowledge and study: • Further Mechanics and Thermal Physics • Fields • Nuclear Physics • Turning Points During the second year a further six required practical experiments must be undertaken to complete the practical endorsement.
Either GCSE Physics Grade 6 or Combined Science 6–6 from Triple Science. Also a Grade 6 in GCSE Mathematics.
Paper 1 - Topics 1-5 and simple harmonic motion • 2 hours • 85 marks • 34% of A level Paper 2 - Topics 6-8 • 2 hours • 85 marks • 34% of A level Paper 3 - Practical skills and topic 9 • 2 hours • 80 marks • 32% of A level
