What the college says

Physics at A Level offers the opportunity to study how things work, from the smallest subatomic particle to the whole universe. It suits those who have enjoyed the study of Physics at GCSE and can be a good choice with subjects such as Mathematics, Chemistry, and Biology. It develops an interest in, and understanding of, the way things work and the ability to analyse problems in a logical and quantitative manner. It is valuable for those thinking of degrees and careers in sciences, engineering, medicine, architecture, management and law.

What you need to get on

We require at least a grade 6 in Physics GCSE and a grade 6 in Maths, or a grade 6 in Maths and a grade 7 in Combined Science. However, the majority of students taking this course will have obtained an 8 or 9 grade at GCSE in Physics and also grade 8 or 9 in Maths. It is highly recommended that you take Maths Mechanics, if you wish to study Physics A level and Further Maths if you plan to study Physics or Engineering at University.
