Physics

UPDATED 20161031 13:39:45

Physics is the gateway to many opportunities within the scientific world and beyond. It can give you access to many higher level courses of study, even if it is not linked directly to Physics. If you are intrigued by the way everything around you works and have an interest in developing your understanding, then A level Physics can do this. The course covers a wide range of topics from the more traditional, Mechanics and Electricity, to the exciting Particles topic, where new discoveries are being made. This links in with a trip to CERN which we try to organise for students. Physics develops not only your knowledge but also competence and confidence in a variety of practical skills, which are transferable into many careers: from developing to testing, analysing and evaluating outcomes. It is not a requirement that you study A level Mathematics but a good ability in mathematics is vital.
