Who is the course for? Physics is for anyone interested in the subject, not just those who wish to continue with a physics or engineering related degree. What can it lead to? A2 physics can open up a range of careers and higher education courses in engineering, architecture, information technology, mathematics, actuarial science, physics and astrophysics. It will also prove very useful if you want to pursue a career in medicine. A2 can also help gain direct entry into employment, especially into scientific and related sectors. What will I Study? In year 12 you will study mechanics, materials, electricity and waves. In year 13 you will study further mechanics, particle physics, astrophysics and energy. How will I be taught? There are five lessons of physics a week. The theory is supported by a large element of practical work to show the many applications of physics Practical endorsement (only applies to A level Physics, not AS) This is reported separately from the A level grade (as Pass/Fail). Teacher assessed with common assessment criteria. Requires a minimum of twelve practical activities to be carried out over the two- year A Level course covering a common core list of apparatus and technique usage
6 GCSE grades 6 or higher including English Language and Maths, with a minimum of 6/6 in Combined Science or a minimum of 6/6 in GCSE Physics. It is very strongly advised that you study A Level Maths alongside Physics; if you do not higher Grades at GCSE might be expected.
There will be two exams in year 12 for those who are not sure they want to continue to the full A level. The results of these exams will not count towards the full A level. There will be three exams in year 13 for the full A level.
