A Level Physics is a challenging but rewarding subject area with strong prospects for all undertaking the subject as it includes a high proportion of problem-solving, combined with a high level of Mathematics. A range of topics are studied on this course, including but not limited to: Particles and Radiation, Astrophysics, Mechanics, Waves, Gravitation, Nuclear and Thermal Physics, Current Electricity, Electromagnetic Radiation and Quantum Phenomena. In previous years students have visited the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland and the Diamond Light Facility in Oxford.
At least five GCSEs at grade 5 or above, including both English and Maths. At least a grade 66 in GCSE Dual Award Science paper or a grade 6 in GCSE Physics. In addition, we require a minimum of Grade 6 in GCSE Mathematics. It is highly recommended that students choose A Level Mathematics alongside A Level Physics to support their studies.
On this course you will be assessed via three exam papers at the end of your second year. You will also undertake a number of practical experiments in which you will work towards a skills certification in practical physics.
