Duration – 2 Years This course will make you think about Physics and its application to the world. It aims to give you a greater understanding of key physical concepts. The course has a mixture of theory, application and practical work. In the first year, you will cover the first 4 modules: Development of Skills in physics; Foundations of Physics; Forces and Motion; Electrons, waves and Photons. In the final year, you will cover 2 additional modules: Newtonian world and astrophysics; Particles and medical physics. How Is The Course Taught? You will learn about physics in many different ways including discussions of physical ideas, carrying out calculations with physical quantities, and observing and measuring physical quantities and behaviour. In lessons, you are expected to take careful notes on what you are learning and are expected to organise your learning resources and practical investigations into a detailed physics folder which will help you revise for formal exams.
