Physics

Course summary

From the birth and death of stars to the fleeting interactions of tiny particles, Physics studies how our world works. To do this it uses ideas ranging from Force and Energy, easily understood and everyday, to Strangeness and Charm, rather more abstract and fanciful! It is a fascinating subject, driven by the desire to find out how and why matter behaves the way it does. Physics is not only interesting; it is also highly marketable. With an A Level in Physics you have proved that you possess a wide range of key skills, exactly what universities and employers are looking for today.
