What the college says

A-level Physics is an exploration into the world about us that builds on the interest and skills developed during the GCSE course. The AS course comprises the first half of the full A level. It provides a smooth progression from GCSE and largely develops topics already familiar to students, but pushes these ideas further and in new directions. We also venture into the field of Particle Physics, studying completely new ideas and touching gently on the weirdness of the quantum realm. The remaining material in the A level course deals with a variety of unfamiliar and powerful ideas which increasingly look at the universe at its most fundamental level. There is some choice of study in the final section of the course that allows students to tailor their learning towards their intended career or areas of personal interest.
