Physics

Course summary

This course is for students who want to continue studying physics after GCSE. You'll already be familiar with some of the topics like forces and electricity, but the A level will give you the chance to study these and some new ones, in much greater depth. You might be choosing physics because you're headed for a scientific career, though it will give you transferable skills that can be used in a wide range of non-scientific careers too. You'll need a keen interest in the subject and good mathematical skills. OCR Physics A specification provides the basis of an innovative course that has been designed to engage and inspire students. We follow the concept-led approach which begins with a study of the laws, theories and models of Physics and moves on to the practical applications.
