Physics
Course summary
This A-Level Physics course covers a range of traditional and modern physics topics. Students’ analysis and problem-solving skills are developed throughout the course including a clear focus on practical skills. The topics covered are: Measurements and their errors, Further mechanics and thermal physics, Particles and radiation, Fields and their consequences, Waves, Nuclear physics, Mechanics and materials, Electricity. Plus an optional topic at A-Level (one of: astrophysics; medical physics; engineering physics; ‘turning points’; or electronics). This A-level is suitable for those who are thinking of doing further education in areas such as Architecture, Automotive Engineering, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics and many more. CAREERS Physicists explore the fundamental nature of almost everything we know of. They probe the furthest reaches of the earth to study the smallest pieces of matter. Join them to enter a world deep beneath the surface of normal human experience. A-Level Physics offers an infinite number of amazing career opportunities including: geophysicist/field seismologist, healthcare scientist, medical physics, lecturer, radiation protection practitioner, research scientist (physical sciences), scientific laboratory technician, teacher, meteorologist, structural engineer, acoustic engineer, product/process development scientist, systems developer, technical author. You can also move into engineering, astrophysics, chemical physics, nanotechnology, renewable energy and more, the opportunities are endless.
