Physics - A Level

Course summary

During the A-Level course, students will ​focus their learning on practical physics, foundations of wave structure particles, electricity and more. ​ Students will then develop these topics through independent research and deepen their understanding. ​ There is a large jump between GCSE Physics or Science and A Level. You will build on the topics you’ve learnt, but to a much higher level of understanding. Physics is a subject that teaches and refines many transferable skills, leaving you with lots of options at the end of the course. You will be more creative, gain experience working in a team, be able to gather relevant information and analyse it effectively.​ This course is suited to students who have a keen interest in the universe around them, who enjoy problem solving ​and want to understand how the world around ​them works. ​ It is suitable for students who have both enjoyed ​and been successful in GCSE physics and ​mathematics.​ It is an essential A-Level for anyone interested in ​pursuing pure science, mathematics, engineering ​and many other degree courses.​ Physics A Level is particularly suitable preparation for Higher Education courses in Pure Sciences, Applied and Vocational Sciences, Astronomy, Meteorology, Computer Science, Television, Engineering, Electronics, Medicine, Veterinary Science, Architecture and Mathematics.​
