Physics A Level

Do you want to deepen your understanding of how the universe works, as well as developing invaluable problem-solving skills?

A Level Physics will allow you to study the world around you at every level, from the smallest particle, to galaxies remote in space and time. The theoretical topics are always related to practical applications, with the teaching of practical skills incorporated throughout the course.

The first year of the course mainly builds on topics you will have already studied at GCSE, while most of the second year topics are brand new and will not have been studied before.

Must meet overall entry criteria for A Level study.

At least five GCSEs at grades 9-4 in one sitting. An average GCSE score of 5 or more is preferred.

GCSE English and Maths at grade 4.

Most students progress onto degrees in scientific subjects such as engineering, medicine, electronics, architecture and physical sciences. Physics is also a useful foundation for subjects such as law, finance, business and IT.

Physics graduates are not only highly sought after and well suited to careers which directly involve science and engineering, but also in the financial and business sectors too.
