In Year 12 you will study Foundation Physics which introduces you to basic concepts common to all the other modules. You will study forces, motion, work and energy and you will also study electric current, waves and quantum mechanics. Following on, in Year 13, the course then continues and builds on the concepts that have been developed in Year 12. Students will gain a deeper understanding of the following topics: nuclear and particle physics, cosmology and medical imaging techniques. You will also study fields andthermodynamics.
A minimum of three grade 6s and five grade 5s at GCSE including a grade 6 in Maths GCSE and grade 7 Physics GCSE or Combined Science.
The A Level year has three theory exams: 1. ModellingPhysics, worth 37%; 2. Exploring Physics, worth37%: 3. Unified Physics, worth 26%. The ‘Practical Endorsement’ is separate and is assessed as either Pass or Fail.
