What the college says

Physics is a highly regarded and respected subject at A Level. It stimulates and challenges while developing skills in logical thought and mathematical rigour. The subject is valued by universities who rate it as a core facilitating subject, and it is either required or very helpful for many university degrees. The course is designed to form strong scientific investigative skills while introducing pupils to the wonderful world of Advanced Physics. Practical work is a key part of the course but there are no controlled assessments. Studying A Level Mathematics is not a requirement, but candidates are advised to study Mathematics in order to access the many Physics and Engineering courses at university. Most people these days have many careers during their working life. Having Physics will allow you a clear entry to many existing professions, as well as many industries of the future which will be driven by advanced technology and robotics.
