What the college says

Physics is the fundamental science, its laws and concepts underpin and explain the complexities of the world around us. A level Physics gives you the opportunity to explore the phenomena of the universe and to look at theories that explain what is observed. This subject combines practical skills with theoretical ideas, to develop descriptions of the physical universe. If you are interested in the limits of space, the beginning of time and everything in between this is the subject for you. It requires a firm commitment to achieve the highest grades, even for the most able of students, but with the support of your teachers it will provide you with both challenge and reward as you successfully navigate the course. Throughout the course, you will need your imagination and creativity but also reasoning and experimental skills and, at least, a liking of Maths. Search for ‘Feynman Fun to imagine’ on YouTube!
