This course is for you if...

... You’re hard working and self-motivated
... You’re aiming to further your education a university
... You have a keen interest in science

What will I be doing?

The course is divided into 5 units. The first 2 units will be studied in year 1 and will lead to the AS qualification.

Year 1 – AS Level

  • Unit 1: Motion, energy and matter
  • Unit 2: Electricity and light

Year 2 – A Level

  • Unit 3: Oscillations and nuclei
  • Unit 4: Fields and options
  • Unit 5: Practical examination

Although many of the topics within each module will have been introduced at GCSE level, they’ll be revised thoroughly before being extended to full A Level standard. The physics specification now includes particle physics, lasers and astrophysics.

Upon completion, you’ll achieve:

What is expected of me?

To enter this course, you’ll need a minimum of 5 GCSEs at Grade C or above, to include English/Welsh First Language, a Grade B or above in Maths, a Grade B or above in Physics or BB or above in Additional Science

Full commitment to attendance is required, as is respect for others, enthusiasm for the subject and self-motivation. You’ll be continually assessed and there’s an expectation that you’ll continue your studies and coursework during your own time.

What comes next?

A Level Physics is accepted as an entry qualification to a surprisingly wide range of university degree courses, from accountancy to veterinary science as well as to the more obviously physics-based courses, such as acoustics, astronomy, engineering (civil, electrical, electronic, mechanical, production etc.) and ophthalmic optics.

It also prepares you for employment in a wide variety of fields.
