Physics
Course Description
How do black holes form, what makes electricity power our world, and how can scientists explain the motion of everything from tiny particles to galaxies? A Level Physics helps you explore the laws that govern the universe and develop a deeper understanding of how the world works.
Throughout the course, you'll develop practical laboratory skills and learn how physicists investigate and explain natural phenomena. You'll study a wide range of fascinating topics including forces, electricity, waves, particle physics, quantum physics and astrophysics. Through experiments, data analysis and problem-solving, you'll learn how scientific theories are developed and tested.
A Level Physics is an excellent choice if you're curious about how things work and enjoy applying maths to solve complex problems. It combines particularly well with subjects such as Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Chemistry Computer Science and 3D Design & Technology.
Ideal for students who are:
- Curious about how the universe works
- Interested in science, technology and engineering
- Enjoy solving mathematical and scientific problems
- Keen to develop analytical and investigative skills
