A highly valued qualification in A Level Physics will give you a deeper understanding of the world, from the super small to the incomprehensibly large. There will be something in the course that interests you. You will work with classmates in modern labs and learn to use new equipment. The syllabus helps develop skills in experimental work, research, and data analysis and it is broad enough to enable you to keep your options open for specialisation at university. Physics will allow you to apply your mathematical skills to solve a range of real-world problems.
As a minimum, you will need (or equivalent to); GCSE Mathematics grade 6 GCSE English Language or Literature grade 4 GCSE Physics/Double Science grade 6 plus two more GCSEs at grade 4. If you study Physics A Level you must also study either Mathematics, Computer Science or Chemistry to support your studies. For Physics to be taken as a third science alongside Biology and Chemistry you will need to have achieved GCSE Maths grade 7. It is recommended you have: GCSE English Language or Literature grade 5 It is not recommended to combine this subject with Applied Science, as the courses contain similar content.
There are three, 2 hour written exams at end of the course and a separate practical component assessed throughout the course.
