Physics is the science of matter, energy, space, and time. It covers a scale ranging from sub-atomic particles such as quarks to stars and the entire universe. On the A-level physics course, you learn about both fundamental concepts and physics in everyday settings. WHAT WILL I STUDY The specification content is divided into six teaching modules and each module is further divided into key topics, with practical skills woven throughout. Module 1 - development of practical skills in physics Module 2 - foundations of physics Module 3 - forces and motion Module 4 - electrons, waves, and photons Module 5 - Newtonian world and astrophysics Module 6 - particles and medical physics WHERE CAN PHYSICS LEAD? Careers directly related to physics include education, manufacturing, aerospace, finance, defense, health care, engineering, telecommunications, and meteorology.
To study A Levels you will need to have achieved 5 grade 5s or better at GCSE (as well as achieving at least grade 4 in GCSE English and mathematics). Standard entry requirements plus a minimum of grade 6 or higher in GCSE combined science or GCSE physics.
This is a two-year course with all exams taking place at the end of Year 13. Modeling physics (01) 100 marks 2 hour 15 minutes written paper 37% of the total mark Exploring Physics (02) 100 marks 2 hour 15 minutes written paper 37% of the total mark Unified physics (03) 70 marks 1 hour 30 minutes written paper 26% of the total mark
