Physics

Course summary

As an A-level Physics student, you will further develop the practical skills gained at GCSE. You will undertake the following topics: foundations in physics, forces and motion, electrons, waves and photons; Newtonian world and astrophysics, particles and medical physics. A-level Physics will teach you the basic principles of the science, giving you a wide range of knowledge into the guiding forces of the universe; including velocity, acceleration, force, mass, and energy. These forces can be applied to the motion of all objects, i.e. electrons, athletes, animals or even plants. Support will be given with more than one teacher available to explain these new concepts in a different way that may aid understanding. Small groups should allow teachers to offer regular individual help during lessons. Modules titles: Module 1 – Development of skills in practical physics 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
