Physics is about finding out how the universe works. Do you know why the sky is blue or why the setting sun appears red? Do you want to find out more about black holes and quarks? From Newton’s genius to Einstein’s mysterious world, all will be revealed! Do you want to use your knowledge to build a better world or to explore new worlds? Do you want to work in the medical field to improve ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging techniques or be part of the design of the next generation of plane, ship, car or spaceship? Physics is a challenging and often demanding subject, but it is also fun and intellectually rewarding. Students develop their skills in problem solving, mathematics, communication and ICT, which makes Physics an excellent foundation for a surprising number of non-scientific courses at university level as well as courses in pure and applied Science and Engineering. Qualifications in Physics are highly prized by employers for the analytical training they provide. A Physics degree can lead to well paid jobs in Finance as well as in Engineering and Medicine. The mathematical modelling used in Physics can readily be applied in the financial world and software firms.
• If you studied triple science a 6 in GCSE physics with a 6 in either GCSE chemistry or Biology AND a 6 in GCSE maths. • If you studied double science a 6,6 and a 6 for GCSE Maths. • Students are strongly advised to take Maths A-level where a 6 in GCSE maths is the entry requirement.
The content of the course covers measurements and their errors, particles and radiation, waves, mechanics and materials, electricity, further mechanics and thermal physics, fields and their consequences and nuclear physics. There is also an optional topic to be chosen from astrophysics, medical physics, engineering physics, turning points in physics and electronics. However, astrophysics is usually the taught option.
