What the college says

If you strive to understand the behaviour of the natural world at both the micro and macro level, physics is the subject for you. From quantum physics to the laws of gravity, you will be immersed in the physical laws governing our universe and practical investigations will allow you to verify those laws. As you progress through the course you will also develop an aptitude for problem-solving and data interpretation. An A-Level in physics is essential for many STEM fields including engineering and medicine. A-Level physics will also allow you to broaden your prospects as many of the skills you will acquire (such as critical thinking and the ability to analyse data) are well sought after by various major industries and employers.
