What the college says

Physics is the most fundamental of the sciences. It is the study of the universe developing mathematical models to explain our observations and predict new phenomena. Increased study time at A level allows students a much deeper understanding of classical Physics and gives a glimpse at the more complex world of modern Physics. Studying Physics develops your ability to analyse and solve problems theoretically and practically in many situations. It develops your ability to comprehend and communicate ideas orally and in writing and enables you to translate information to and from prose, graphs, numerical data and diagrams. A Level Physics is a good preparation for nearly every career because it teaches you to think clearly and analytically. The new specification is divided into topics covering the key theories of Physics.
