Physics involves looking at the rules of the natural world and attempting to describe and explain them, especially mathematically. It is a subject in its own right and is a cornerstone for most forms of engineering and other relevant disciplines. You will be learning about a wide array of natural phenomena, including energy, forces, gravity, waves, resonance and electronics. You will learn and apply definitions, diagrams and formulas. You will also learn algebraic, statistical and practical skills.

Physics A Level leads directly into physics and engineering degrees and is also very well respected by employers and is required for these subjects. It is also a facilitating subject for university applications in many subjects, including Mathematics, Economics and Chemistry. Not having Physics will be a disadvantage at good universities if applying to these subjects. Additionally, Physics is often a facilitating subject for medicine. Due to its difficulty and the logical approach required when learning it, Physics A Level students tend not to have any trouble applying to non-related

university courses, such as law or psychology, if mixed with subjects that are directly related.
