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. A Level Physics is a challenging course covering a range of subjects. In Year 1 we will cover exciting topics such as: developing practical skills in physics; the foundations of physics; explaining objects around us in forces and motion; looking at smaller scales in electrons, waves, and photons; and an introduction to quantum physics. In Year 2 we will carry on to develop our practical skills along with other topics such as: the macroscopic world in Newtonian world and astrophysics; particle theory and the application of physics in medicine; and electric and gravitational fields. Physics A Level is complemented particularly by Math's, the other sciences, and Geography. It is difficult to do well at Physics without also studying A Level Mathematics. A Level Physics is an excellent foundation for further education courses in science and engineering. Physicists end up in all sorts of interesting jobs and are virtually never unemployed because of their broad training and adaptability. In particular they are needed at the start of new technologies or in challenging projects such as space missions, remote explorations, and failure assessment. As a working physicist you may find yourself: trying to predict the stock market on Wall Street; testing satellites for space missions; developing new materials for industry; developing new electronic devices and components; treating cancer patients in hospital; trying to predict the next major earthquake to hit San Francisco or Japan; or developing flight simulation software.
