Physics A Level
Holmer Green Senior School
Course summary
Physics is crucial to understanding the world around us, the world inside us, and the world beyond us. It encompasses the study of the universe from the largest galaxies to the smallest subatomic particles and is the most basic and fundamental science. Physics challenges our imaginations with concepts like relativity and string theory, and it leads to great discoveries, like computers and lasers, that lead to technologies which change our lives—from healing joints, to curing cancer, to developing sustainable energy solutions. The course aims to develop essential knowledge and developing enquiry based learning. It is not necessary for students to study A Level Maths in order to be successful at A Level Physics, but students must be confident mathematicians. A Level Mathematics strongly supports A Level Physics and students intending to study Physics or Engineering at university must also take mathematics A Level.
