In a nutshell

This course gives a broad yet engaging look into Physics

This course is for you if...

... You’re hard working and self-motivated
... You’re aiming to further your education a university
... You have a keen interest in science

What will I be doing?

The course is divided into 5 units. The first 2 units will be studied in year 1 and will lead to the AS qualification.

Year 1 – AS Level

• Unit 1: Motion, energy and matter
• Unit 2: Electricity and light

Year 2 – A Level

• Unit 3: Oscillations and nuclei
• Unit 4: Fields and options
• Unit 5: Practical examination

Although many of the topics within each module will have been introduced at GCSE level, they’ll be revised thoroughly before being extended to full A Level standard. The physics specification now includes particle physics, lasers and astrophysics.

Upon completion, you’ll achieve:

• AS Level Physics
• A Level Physics
• Skills activities
• English and Maths

It is strongly recommended that you take AS mathematics alongside physics to support your skills in this subject.

What is expected of me?

To enter this course, you’ll need a minimum of 5 GCSEs at Grade C or above, to include English/Welsh First Language, a Grade B or above in Maths, a Grade B or above in Physics or BB or above in Additional Science

Full commitment to attendance is required, as is respect for others, enthusiasm for the subject and self-motivation. You’ll be continually assessed and there’s an expectation that you’ll continue your studies and coursework during your own time.

What comes next?

A Level Physics is accepted as an entry qualification to a surprisingly wide range of university degree courses, from accountancy to veterinary science as well as to the more obviously physics-based courses, such as acoustics, astronomy, engineering (civil, electrical, electronic, mechanical, production etc.) and ophthalmic optics.

It also prepares you for employment in a wide variety of fields.
