If you would like to know the answers to questions like: What happens when protons are smashed apart? Where should a motorcycle stuntman put his landing ramp to land safely? How do distant stars and planets influence each other with gravity? Then Physics is the course for you. To be successful you will need to have a real interest in Physics and the Physical world to drive forward your independent study of Physics. Students who are successful at Physics like the challenge of solving problems when the answers are not immediately obvious. It is not necessary to study A Level Maths to do the A Level Physics course, but as always they make a great pair of A Levels should you wish to do them both. You will learn to solve problems, to carry out calculations and to apply your Physics knowledge and understanding to any situation. Physics can lead you into: Aeronautical Engineer, Agricultural Scientist, Air-Traffic Controller, Architect, Army, Astronomer, Audiologist, Automobile Engineer, Biomedical Engineer, Biophysicist, Building technologist, Civil Service, Scientific Officer, Computer-aided Design, Computer Programmer, Dental Technician, Dentist, Doctor, Draughts Person, Electrical Engineer, Electrician, Electronics Engineer, Environmental Health Officer, Ergonomicist, Flight Engineer, Forensic Scientist, Geophysicist, Health and Safety Officer, Industrial Designer, Information Scientist, Laboratory Technician, Lighting Technologist, Marine Scientist, Materials Scientist, Mechanical engineer, Medical Physicist, Metallurgist, Engineer and Radio Officer, Meteorologist, Mining engineer, Motor Mechanic, Nuclear Scientist, Optician, Patent agent, Physicist, Physiotherapist, Pilot, Production Engineer, Quantity Surveyor, Radiographer, Radio Station Manager, Recording engineer, Royal Air Force, Royal Navy, Space Scientist, Structural engineer, Systems analyst, Teacher.
GCSE Physics Grade 5 and above or 5-5 in Combined Science plus a Maths Grade 4 and above
All of the work from Year 12 and Year 13 will be assessed at the end of the two year course. It will be assessed in three papers each of which are 2 hours long. The assessment of practical skills in the course will be in the written exams. A separate endorsement of practical skills will be taken alongside the full A-level. This will be assessed by teachers and will be based on direct observation of students’ competency in a range of skills that are not assessable in written exams. We will be developing the student’s practical skills in Physics during the course and they will need to complete the twelve compulsory experiments set by the exam board during the two year course.
