Physics seeks to understand the patterns and processes of nature. By practical experiment, careful interpretation and mathematical analysis of results, students will try to understand the inherent beauty and diversity of the universe; from rainbows to radio waves; from quarks to quasars. You will learn: Particles Physics and Quantum Phenomena: what happens on the smallest of scales. Wave theory; the continuous flow of energy. Mechanics and thermodynamics: how and why motion occurs. Field theory: explaining and predicting forces through the interaction of fields. Astrophysics: An attempt to explain everything we see when we look up through detailed observation. An A Level in Physics opens a wealth of opportunities including engineering, medicine, astrophysics, biophysics, aerospace, architecture, acoustics, sport science, the list goes on. It will also enable access to Higher Level Apprenticeships with major companies both local and nationally, where you can start to earn good money as soon as you leave school while learning more and working your way up a career ladder.
Minimum five GCSE passes (grades 4 or 5) including English Language and Maths. Students must also meet subject specific minimum entry requirements (shown below).
Year 13 - 3 exam papers On-going Practical Endorsement.
