Physics

Course summary

We are looking for students with enthusiasm to understand the physical world around them and with the determination to be successful. It is not a requirement that students studying Physics also study Maths, but a good grasp of basic algebra is essential and combined study of A Level Maths would be beneficial. Please note that about 40% of the total marks in the A Level Physics exams will require the use of Level 2 (Higher tier GCSE) mathematical skills. The AQA Physics A specification is based around a common core of knowledge and skills and provides the skills and knowledge required to progress into Higher Education in a wide range of subjects such as Physics and Engineering as well as Medicine, Oceanography, Meteorology and Veterinary Sciences.
