What the college says

The A-Level Physics course is a modular course designed to give students a further understanding of a range of physics areas. The content of the full A-Level course is examined at the end of Year 13 where students will be given their A-Level grade based on the examinations they complete. All coursework and controlled assessments content has been removed from the course. The demonstration of practical skills will still be required throughout the year, but this will not contribute to the final grade. An A-Level in Physics prepares students for progression to university courses in Physics, Engineering and other science or related subjects. It also prepares them for entry into a range of careers where knowledge of physics and/or advanced mathematics would be an advantage. A higher understanding of Physics is also very highly regarded by employers outside of scientific and engineering areas.

What you need to get on

Students are required to achieve a grade 7 in either of their combined science examinations, regardless of which route they have followed. Students studying separate sciences are required to achieve a grade 7 in GCSE Physics. We also require students to have gained a grade 7 in Mathematics and be looking to follow the A-Level Mathematics course. A grade 4 in English Language or Literature.

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.
