Physics is the most fundamental of the sciences, with the ultimate goal to lead us to understand all aspects of how the universe works, from the apparently simple processes to the highly complex. This course is designed for those who want to know how and why the natural world around us works as it does and covers a wide range of Physics topics from the quantum scale of sub-atomic particles to the evolution of our Universe. The course aims to develop an interest and enthusiasm for the subject along with the skill set to complete practical work in laboratory conditions. Further opportunities such as visits to the world-leading research center CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, and visits to Iceland are used to embed that enthusiasm and give students the ability to see the practical applications of what is learned in the classroom.
5 GCSE’s at grades 4-9 including English, grade 6 in Maths and Science/Physics.
Paper 1 - Modelling Physics (Modules 1,2,3 and 5) worth 37% 2hr 15min. Paper 2 - Exploring Physics (Modules 1,2,4 and 6) worth 37% 2hr 15mins. Paper 3 - Unified Physics (Modules 1-6) worth 26% 1hr 30mins. Practical Endorsement in Physics (non-exam assessment).
