What the college says
By studying Physics at A level, you will master the fundamentals of Physics and learn to view the world from a different angle. You will see�your mobile phone�as a microwave receiver and transmitter. You will be able to explain how your fridge works, why stars appear to have different colours and explain how electricity flows through wires and cables. You will learn to question why things happen and try to answer them like a scientist. The recent discovery of the Higgs boson at CERN exemplifies the exciting nature of the subject and the Physics department uses this as a learning opportunity to plan trips including to CERN in Geneva.
