What the college says

This course is for students who want to continue studying physics after GCSE.

You might be choosing physics because you're headed for a scientific career, though it will give you transferable skills that can be used in a wide range of non-scientific careers too. You'll need a keen interest in the subject and good mathematical skills.

4-5 GCSEs including English, maths and science

How you are assessed

Academic subjects, mostly exams, three or four at once. The traditional route to university.
