Course Content: A level Physics enables students to build on their knowledge of the laws of physics, applying their understanding to solve problems on topics ranging from subatomic particles to the entire universe. They also have the opportunity to develop all the relevant practical skills throughout the course Progression: Physics is a highly respected A level. A good grade in A level Physics demonstrates to an employer that you have analytical and mathematical skills that you can apply to real life situations. There are many possible career paths that it will create for you, for example: Engineering, Medicine, Forensic Science, Astronomy, Cosmology, Electronics, Power generation, Finance and many more
Entry Requirements: Grade 6 in 2 science GCSEs, Grade 6 in Maths and Grade 5 in English is recommended. If you would like to take A level Physics, we could also recommend taking A level Mathematics or Core Mathematics, as these subjects support each other very well. *Thinking of studying more than one A Level Science subject or taking A Level Science with A Level Mathematics? We would strongly recommend that students wishing to study more than one A Level Science subject or an A Level Science and A Level Mathematics subject have grades 7 or above in their GCSE Science subjects and GCSE Mathematics.
Assessment:The whole of the A level Physics course is examined at the end of the full course. There are three theory papers and a practical skills assessment. Your grade is determined by how well you do on the theory papers. Your result in the practical is noted as an endorsement alongside your A-level grade. The papers are: 2 papers each covering about half of the main course content. A third paper with data response / synoptic questions which can come from any part of the specification, plus questions on the option topic (see earlier). The practical skills assessment involves performing a series of twelve experiments in class time which are assessed throughout the 2 year course
