What the college says

Physics is recognised as a challenging subject and teaches problem solving skills which will be used in any career. Physics is a numerate subject but you also need to be able to express key concepts both orally and in writing. You will learn both Classical Physics (including mechanics, waves and electricity) and Modern Physics (including particle physics, quantum physics and relativity). It is a desirable qualification for students considering Physics, Mathematics or Engineering at university, however, it is also useful for those considering careers in the finance, technology and medical sectors.

What you need to get on

Grade 7 in GCSE Combined Science or Physics. As Physics is a mathematical science, you will need a minimum grade 5 or equivalent in GCSE Mathematics. Note that the expectation is that you will study Mathematics at A Level.

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.
