Physics

Course summary

The oldest and most fundamental of the sciences, A level Physics explores the limits of our Universe. From the smallest possible lengths and times within the quantum realm to the vast expanse of space-time that continuously stretches out before us. Topics such as particle physics, classical mechanics and field theory probe the very nature of reality itself, what are dimensions? Is time travel possible? What is energy? We deliver the astrophysics option and provide a suite of extra-curricular activities with trips to University College London (UCL) lectures, Greenwich observatory and an annual visit to the World’s largest machine: the particle accelerator at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland for a chance to experience the cutting edge of experimental and theoretical physics. We also offer work experience placements within the UCL Department of Physics and Astronomy.
