Studying Physics gives students the opportunity to expand upon their understanding from GCSE science and is a common prerequisite for further study of engineering or sciences. This qualification is linear meaning that students will sit all their exams and submit all their non-exam assessments at the end of the course.
GCSE Physics at grade 6 or GCSE Combined Science at grade 6 (with grade 6 in the Physics unit exams) is required. Students wishing to study A-Level Physics must also study A-Level Mathematics, due to the significant overlap in content.
Measurements and their errors Particles and radiation Waves Mechanics and materials Electricity Further mechanics and thermal physics Fields and their consequences Nuclear physics Astrophysics Assessment: Paper 1 – 2 hour written exam based on sections 1-5 and 6.1 worth 34% of the final grade. Paper 2 – 2 hour written exam based on Sections 6.2, 7 and 8 with assumed knowledge from previous sections worth 34% of the final grade. Paper 3 – 2 hour written exam based on practical skills and astrophysics worth 32% of the final grade.
