A Level Physics is a highly valued qualification which opens doors to a multitude of opportunities. It will allow you to develop a range of transferable skills which can be used across a range of subjects, including computing skills, mathematical and practical skills and the ability to analyse and evaluate data to solve problems. A Level Mathematics complements the A Level Physics course well and it is a compulsory entry requirement for many physics related degree courses. Physics is a subject which can lead to many travel opportunities; physicists from all over the world work collaboratively on a range of projects, from space science at NASA to the Large Hadron Collider at CERN and many universities offer physics courses with a year?s work experience abroad. There is an opportunity to participate in a school visit to CERN in Geneva in Year 12. Physics combines well with other A Level science subjects such as Chemistry and Biology, and students interested in engineering often opt to study Design Technology.
- Sixth Form entry requirements, including, including Physics at grade B or 6 (or an A or 7 grade at Core and Additional Science GCSE) and Mathematics at grade 6. It is highly advisable that students also study A Level Mathematics with this subject. - At least eight grade 4s at GCSEs including English and Mathematics and at least four grade 6's at GCSE, including a 6 in the subjects chosen where relevant, or in the case of a student not studying the subject at GCSE, a 6 is needed in the closest subject (s) they have studied at GCSE
The course is assessed by three examinations; two of the examinations consist of a combination of multiple choice and structured questions, covering theory and practical skills. The third examination assesses content from all modules in a synoptic style examination. There is a practical endorsement component which is teacher assessed.
