What the college says

Perhaps you want to know what makes the universe tick, or you’re considering a career in Mechanical Engineering, Cosmology or Medical Physics. An understanding of Physics underpins the technology that puts satellites into orbit, makes the internet possible, revolutionises medicine, and it’s also behind the technology that will shape tomorrow’s innovations. Physics is unique. No other subject allows you to gain such a deep understanding of the way the world works. Physics is both the everyday and the extraordinary, from explaining why the sky is blue, to understanding quantum theory and Einstein’s relativity. A Level Physics combines practical investigations and experiments with theoretical ideas, giving you the skills to logically analyse and solve problems; skills which can be applied to any scientific or mathematical challenge.
