At its heart, Physics is about learning how and why things behave as they do. Physics is vital to developments in the modern world, from space science to nanophysics, from medical treatments to mobile phones. Physics makes an impact on virtually every area of our lives. Studying Physics offers a challenging but rewarding route to understanding the world around us. You are expected to use the written and electronic resources available to develop your understanding of basic concepts outside of lessons. Lessons will concentrate on applying these concepts to explain observations and solve problems, particularly in unfamiliar situations.
• Grade 6 or B in GCSE Mathematics • Grade 5 or B in GCSE Physics and one other Science, or Grade 5/5 or B/B in GCSE Combined Science or equivalent.
At the end of the second year there are three written exams, each lasting 2 hours. These exams cover all the content taught over the previous 2 years. Each exam contributes one third to the overall A Level mark. There is no coursework. Although there is no practical exam, practical skills will be regularly assessed by the tutor during the course. A final pass/fail grade will be awarded at the end. This grade will be shown as a separate line on your exam certificate but it does not contribute to your final A Level mark.
