A Level Physics

A Level Physics

Course Outline

Physics is the most fundamental of all the natural sciences and its theories attempt to describe the behaviour of the smallest building blocks of matter, light, the universe and everything in between. 

If you are already interested in GCSE Physics, excellent at maths, love solving problems, and would like to know more about fascinating ideas such as quantum mechanics, relativity, cosmology, optics, electricity, forces, then physics is for you.

This course will enable you to understand how science works and its relevance beyond the classroom and laboratory. The course will show you how physics links to other sciences and how the subject underpins important technologies.
