Physics is about questioning how the world around us works and looking for answers through a combination of experiments and theoretical work. Physics is used to answer some of our most fundamental questions relating to our origins and existence. It is a mathematical course, using formulae and logic to solve problems, predict events and describe observable phenomenon. You will challenge your ability to use logic and mathematics to solve problems and develop new ideas, and there are ample opportunities to fine tune your practical skills throughout the course. You will learn many new terms and theories to support your development, and benefit from external exposure to subject experts and trips that will enhance your understanding.
To study at RSFC, you must have achieved a minimum of five GCSEs or equivalent at grade 4 or above across four separate subjects, including GCSE mathematics and/or English language. In addition, a grade 6 or above is required in Physics or a grade 6-6 in Combined Science, both on the higher tier. You must also achieve a grade 6 or above in Mathematics and a grade 4 or above in English Language. Physics students must also study A level Mathematics.
You will complete three examinations at the end of the two-year course, and be assessed throughout the year on your practical skills.
