What the college says

The Alevel course is a twoyear linear course, with all assessments taking place at the end of two years. Year 1 focuses on forces, dynamics, energy, materials, electricity, waves, particles and radiation. In Year 2 we study circular motion, simple harmonic motion, nuclear physics, thermal physics, and explore the concept of force fields in gravitation and electromagnetism. There is also an optional topic, one from Astrophysics, Medical Physics, Engineering Physics, Turning Points in Physics and Electronics. The approach will be to develop good thinking and problem solving skills while gaining a solid understanding of the various topics. There will be numerous opportunities to carry out experiments to link theory to reality. Practical and evaluative skills as well as data analysis will be developed throughout the course and assessed via structured tasks.
