It is the starting point for engineering and the discoveries made by physicists allow biologists and chemists to do their work.
A Level Physics covers a wide range of topics 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 you a practical endorsement upon completion of the A level.Qualifications
