7 Physics A-level Programs

An A level in Physics will introduce you to key areas of the subject that reflect its depth and range. You will consider Newtonian classical mechanics and modern cosmological phenomena, such as star formation, Hubble's law and the Big Bang theory. You will look at fields, waves and particles and the puzzling behaviour of the world of the very small. We also study some practical applications of physics, such as electric circuits and medical physics. Physics presents challenges to fascinate the inquiring mind and it is an extremely rewarding subject to study. You should be aware that it is a highly conceptual subject and not one to be taken lightly.

This course is ideal for learners who enjoy Science and Maths and are considering a career in a STEM field. Throughout the course learners will look at many different areas, from Astrophysics to Particle Physics and everything in between. Physics will help you understand the world around you, it will help you develop your critical thinking skills and create a wide range of opportunities for you to progress into.

Physics is the study of fundamental quantities and events, the scale of our universe and how science quantifies and describes our world. You will develop an awareness of the applications of physics and how it relates to everyday life.

Studying Physics will give you the chance to investigate and understand some of the fundamental laws of the universe, from the tiniest particles of matter to vast star systems. We embrace both the practical and theoretical sides of physics so you'll also get involved in lots of practical experiments to put your new skills and knowledge to the test.

Are you intrigued by the fundamental questions about how, and why, the world around us works the way it does? Physics A-Level is one of the most universally accepted qualifications for progression to university. The course content covers the basis of how things work, from the constituent parts of atoms out to the extent of the universe. You will integrate the concepts studied with a range of practical experiments throughout each topic giving the course both an academic and practical focus. You will learn to apply your knowledge of the key concepts to solve problems in a range of different contexts and applications.
