Physics, A-Level

Course Information

COURSE OVERVIEW

Physicists explore the fundamental nature of almost everything we know of. They probe the furthest reaches of the earth to study the smallest pieces of matter. Join them to enter a world deep beneath the surface of normal human experience.

Possible Degree Options

The top seven degree courses taken by students who have an A-Level in Physics are:

• Mathematics
• Physics
• Mechanical Engineering
• Computer Science
• Civil Engineering
• Economics
• Business

These practicals will give you the skills and confidence needed to investigate the way things behave and work. It will also ensure that if you choose to study a Physics-based subject at university, you’ll have the practical skills needed to carry out successful experiments in your degree. This is now a requirement and forms part of the Practical Endorsement that is a requirement of A-Level Physics.
