What will I be doing? The first year of the course covers mechanics, electrical circuits, materials and the wave and particle nature of light. Year 1 physics is essentially a practical subject and during the course you will carry out many practical activities. In the second year, the course covers further mechanics, fields, nuclear and particle physics, thermodynamics and space, nuclear radiation and oscillations. The course continues to develop the practical skills covered in Year 1. How will success help me to continue with my education or secure a good career? An A level in physics will enable you to follow a range of courses at university, including medicine and most engineering courses. It is recognised by universities and employers as a subject requiring discipline and hard work, which develops advanced skills in abstract reasoning, applying knowledge to new situations, solving problems logically and communicating clearly.
Grade 7 in GCSE additional Science or Grade6 in GCSE physics andGrade 5 in GCSE mathematics
The course is assessed by three written examinations at the end of Year 13. There are also compulsory core practicals which students must pass in order to qualify to sit their written examinations.
