Course summary

Physics enables you to explore minute interactions at subatomic levels to consider the mysteries of the expanding universe. You will study a vast range of topics including mechanics, electricity, waves, optics, nuclear physics, and particle physics for two years. By learning how fundamental science works, Physics enables you to approach problems logically and is a valuable preparation for many careers.

Entry requirements

5 GCSEs at grade 9/A* to 4/C including English Language, a minimum 2 grade 6/B's in Physics and a second Science or Double science and a grade 6/B in Maths. You will also be required to complete a GCSE to A Level Transition Project, prior to enrolment, to prepare you for A Level Physics.

How you'll be assessed

This is a two-year linear A Level where you are examined on the whole syllabus at the end of the second year. Each project is assessed as a portfolio of work. There are three exams at the end of this two-year linear A-level, all of which are two hours long. At least 15% of the marks for A-level Physics are based on what you learned in your practicals. There will be various mock exams to prepare you for the final exams. To prepare for external exams, you will carry out a program of weekly tests, exam-style assessments, and Formal Progress Points where you will monitor your attendance, how hard you are working, and your academic progress. All Year 1 students will progress through a Year 1 Gateway that will allow them to progress to Year 2.
