GCE A Level in Physics
at The Littlehampton Academy, Littlehampton · school or sixth form
What the college says
Why are skies blue and sunsets red? What causes tides? Why are there dimples in a golf ball? Does the water really go down the plughole the other way in Australia? Anyone who is curious about the world around them and wants to know why things are the way they are will enjoy physics. Alternatively, you may simply need a physics qualification to complement your other science subjects. Students with a high level of mathematical, computing and organisational skills will gain most from the course.
