What the college says

Physics is one of the most exciting and interesting subjects you can study and it is crucial in understanding the world around us and is the basis of everything we experience in life. Physics is the most fundamental description of the universe we live in, it will stretch your imagination as you contemplate the nature of time and matter. The study of physics at A-level provides a good basis in logical and practical thinking and problem solving. As such, it is a very marketable qualification and is accepted for a whole range of non-scientific disciplines from accountancy to law, as well as complementing studies in maths, biology, chemistry and geography. Apart from physics and engineering degrees, A-level physics can be useful for non-science based courses which also value the analytical nature of the subject. Physicists study the universe from the smallest subatomic particles to the largest galaxies, combining imagination with systematic reasoning to unlock many of the universes secrets. We hope that the course will stimulate your interest in, and enjoyment of, the study of physics as well as an appreciation of the scientific, social, environmental and technological contributions made by physics to society. This will enable you to make informed choices and prepare you for a successful future in an increasingly technological society.
