What the college says

Perhaps the majority of those who study A-level Physics do so in order to apply their physics knowledge in another subject area at university. Examples of this include engineering, electronics and meteorology. For these careers, A-level Physics is essential. Another group of students choose to study physics because they feel that it will be useful even if not essential for their career. Those intending to follow a career in law, medicine or biochemistry fall into this category.
