Course summary

Physics is the study of matter and energy and the relationship between the two.

An A Level in physics will extend GCSE physics and the physics component of a GCSE science double award course. During the course your study will include topics such as forces, electricity and electromagnetism, radioactivity, astrophysics, particle physics, waves and the Universe. What you will do: • Carry out a multitude of relevant and hands-on practicals linked to the content. • Develop your understanding of the forces of nature and the world around us. • Study engaging content which extends from the study of the tiniest particles of matter to the largest objects in the universe. • Extend your research, analytical and problem solving skills.
