Physics

UPDATED 20160315 09:42:41

Physics is a rigorous and well respected qualification which is highly valued by universities. Many students go on to study Science, Medicine, Engineering or Maths at university, but others choose Physics as an interesting and challenging complement to their other subjects. A qualification in Physics is essential for many branches of engineering and recommended for courses in Pure Science, Electronics, Veterinary Science and Medicine. It is also an excellent preparation for many other careers not so obviously related. To make a success of Physics, you should be interested in understanding and explaining physical phenomena and enjoy experimental work. A Level Physics requires a good level of competency in mathematics, and while it is not necessary to take Maths A Level, you will find Physics easier if you do. You will already have come across some of the concepts of physics at GCSE: forces, energy, waves, radioactivity, electricity and magnetism. At A Level you will start to see how these ideas work together, and begin to grasp the universal principles that apply to everything from the smallest atoms to the largest galaxies. Whatever you do in the future the knowledge and skills you gain by studying physics will be useful. Physics is more than a subject - it trains your brain to think beyond boundaries.
