Physics is the study of how things work. Physics underpins all parts of our life; from how we can watch our favourite TV programmes to why our car or the bus can take us to school or work. Within the breadth of Physics A-level students will learn about the forces, phenomena and energy of actions and objects, whilst developing a range of transferable skills in practical techniques, conceptual problem solving and mathematical analysis. What you will study: Paper 1: Modelling Physics (Mechanics) Paper 2: Exploring Physics (Electromagnetism, Waves, Medical and Quantum Physics) Paper 3: Unified Physics Skills you will gain: Students will develop skills in literacy, numeracy, application, analysis, evaluation and problem solving. Additionally, students will develop skills in practical technique and research as part of their practical endorsement. Career Paths: Engineering, Research scientist (CERN), Power industry (nuclear or renewable), Finance. Please note: The mathematical demand of physics is very high and is strongly supported by the study of mathematics. Additionally, Physics is seen as a strong supporting subject to Chemistry for an application for medical studies. Other complementary subjects include Further Mathematics and Computer Science.
GCSE Physics Grade 6/ GCSE Combined Science 6-6 GCSE English Grade 5 and GCSE Maths Grade 6
The course is assessed using two 100 mark papers (1&2) and one 70 mark paper (3). The larger papers involve multiple choice and extended answer questions. The 3rd paper focuses on synthesis of concepts and skills. A practical endorsement will also be undertaken. This has no committed marks to the overall grade but is widely required for university applications.
