What the college says

Physicists explore the fundamental nature of almost everything we know of. They probe the furthest reaches of the earth to study the smallest pieces of matter. Join them to enter a world deep beneath the surface of normal human experience. A-level Physics lasts two years, with exams at the end of the second year. The table below shows the topics covered in each year. Physics, like all sciences, is a practical subject. Throughout the course you will carry out practical activities including: investigating interference and diffraction of laser light measuring acceleration due to gravity investigating systems that oscillate investigation of the links between temperature, volume and pressure safe use of ionising radiation investigating magnetic fields. These practicals will give you the skills and confidence needed to investigate the way things behave and work.
