Physics
WMG Academy for Young Engineers (Solihull)
Course summary
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 at the end of the course. Practical experiments are essential throughout the course and lead to a “Practical Endorsement” separate from the A level grade.
