GCE A Level in Physics A

What the college says
People have been fascinated in the world around them since the dawn of humanity; from the way the organisms around them have developed to be so, to the way chemical substances reacting can be used to explain that biological world all the way up to the movement of the heavens. Physics not only provides greater understanding of both these through an understanding of the world at a sub-atomic level, but it also helps further our understanding and fascination at a much larger universal level. If you ask “why” something should be the way it is, the sciences can help you understand. If you keep asking “why” then it is Physics that helps explain the other sciences.
