GCE A Level in Physics A
at City of Stoke-On-Trent Sixth Form College · sixth form college
What the college says
We are all born with the urge to understand the world around us. One of the first words we learn to say is “Why?” and then, a little later, “How?” If you find that the more answers you are given to discover, the more questions you want to ask, then you could well be a physicist in the making and should certainly consider Physics. A wide range of practical work will be used to support your learning and understanding of the universe. This course combines well with all Sciences, Product Design as well as Philosophy and Music.
