What the college says

The AQA A-level physics course builds on your knowledge from GCSE as well as introduce you to new, more abstract concepts at the frontier of our current understanding. In the first autumn term alone, you will master the use of the four SUVAT equations to solve problems within linear motion, whilst also leaning the particles and anti-particles that constitute our current model of matter in the observable universe. Recent A-level physics students have also participated in extra-curricular events, such as: a lecture on the existence of dark matter from Dr Sam Henry, a CERN and University of Oxford (Hertford College) particle physicist; and a seminar hosted by Kitty Oldford, a recent BSc Physics graduate from Torquay embarking on a career developing SONAR.
