Ever wondered what is inside a proton? How to work out where your cannonball will land? How fast your satellite will have to go to maintain a stable orbit? Then this fascinating Physics course will provide a unique challenge developing many sought after skills as well as knowledge. Physics can lead to employment as a geophysicist/field seismologist, Healthcare scientist, research scientist (physical sciences), meteorologist, structural engineer or technical author. Studying A Level Physics can lead to degree courses in Mathematics, Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Economics or Computer Science. The Year 12 includes studying the fundamental building blocks of matter as well as mechanics, waves and materials. Year 13 students will study oscillatory motion, gravitational fields and nuclear physics. There is also an optional unit which students can cover from a range of interesting topics. There is no coursework on this course; however, their performance during practical work will be assessed. There are three examinations at the end of the two years for A Level, all of which are two hours. At least 15% of the marks for A Level Physics are based on what students learn during practical work.
