WHO IS IT SUITABLE FOR? ✓ Physics is suitable for students who are fascinated by how things work at the deepest level. ✓ Students who study Physics will need to have enquiring minds and enjoy a challenge. ✓ Students must be good at mathematics and enjoy practical work, seeking to develop their skills by planning experiments, collecting data, drawing conclusions and evaluating results. ✓ Students who have a real passion and interest for the subject. WHAT WILL I LEARN? The course aims for students to have a solid grounding in a wide range of Physics topics. Physics is central to our understanding of the nature of matter and the composition and origin of the Universe. It underpins the technological advances of modern society. There is a big focus on the applications of physics in the world around us, for example using physics in medicine or electricity. The modules covered will include : Module 1 – Development of practical skills in physics Module 2 – Foundations of physics Module 3 – Forces and motion Module 4 – Electrons, waves and photons Module 5 – Newtonian world and astrophysics Module 6 – Particles and medical physics
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS Grade 77 in Double Science OR Grade 777 in Triple Science Grade 6 in Mathematics also required 8 or more GCSE at grade 5, equivalent or better including English and Maths.
HOW WILL I BE ASSESSED?
