Course information
Physics is the science of everything. It spans the very large (like stars and galaxies) to the very small (like atoms and things which make them up), and everything in between. It is the starting point for engineering and the discoveries made by physicists allow biologists and chemists to do their work.
Students will study a wide range of topics in physics including: Thermal physics, Gas Laws, Gravitational fields, Circular motion, Simple harmonic motion, Astrophysics, Cosmology, Electric fields, Magnetic fields, Nuclear Physics and medical physics. The course also involves 12 required practical activities that will give students a practical endorsement upon completion of the A level.
