Overview

Physics is about finding out what the universe is made of and how things work and interact with each other. It is concerned with the most basic building blocks of all things - from ants to antennas, from quarks to quasars.

Studying Physics will encourage students to develop the way they think about and examine the world. It will also challenge them to question the way things are. This A-Level will help those who want to develop their analytical, reasoning and practical problem-solving skills.

The study of physics is essential in our modern world. Physics holds the answer to many of the biggest questions of our time. There has never been a more exciting time to be involved in physics: it is a period of huge innovation and discovery.

In the study of Physics, students will develop their practical skills, in addition to other skills including teamwork, communication, problem-solving, analysis and investigation.
