About the course…
Do you want to deepen your understanding of how the universe works, as well as developing invaluable problem-solving skills?
A Level Physics will allow you to study the world around you at every level, from the smallest particle, to galaxies remote in space and time. The theoretical topics are always related to practical applications, with the teaching of practical skills incorporated throughout the course.
The first year of the course mainly builds on topics you will have already studied at GCSE, while most of the second year topics are brand new and will not have been studied before.
Why study with us…
- • You will be working in modern laboratories with excellent facilities and equipment, including oscilloscopes and data logging equipment.
- There may be opportunities for trips to see physics in action within industry and the chance to experience lectures and/or hear from guest speakers.
- Classes are generally smaller and conducive to a more personal learning experience with more bespoke interactive one-to-one time between teachers and students.
Where Physics can take you…
Most students progress onto degrees in scientific subjects such as engineering, medicine, electronics, architecture and physical sciences.
Physics is also a great foundation for arenas such as law, finance, business and IT.
Physics graduates are not only highly sought after and well-suited to careers which directly involve science and engineering, but also in pretty much any sector requiring mathematical problem-solving skills.
Entry requirements…
- Must meet overall entry criteria for A Level study
- If you wish to study two or more A Level Science or Maths courses, you will need to meet the entry criteria for a Science A Level programme too
