What the college says

The A-Level in Physics course builds on skills and knowledge gained at GCSE and covers a range of topics which give students a greater insight into principles and concepts underlying the physical world.Specifically, we look inside the atom to the smallest constituents of matter; and in year 2 we look at the biggest ideas of all; the exploration of the universe. Along the way we cover mechanics, electricity, fields, gases and nuclear physics too. If you are curious about the world around you, and enjoy maths, physics could be for you.
