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.

What you need to get on

Minimum grade 5-5 Combined Science or 5 Triple Physics (must be in the examined unit as well as overall). Grade 5 in GCSE Mathematics

How you are assessed

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

What this level means

The A-level-equivalent step, and what universities and employers ask for.

Is it open to 16 to 18 year olds?

Approved for 16 to 18 study on the government's Section 96 list.
