Physics.

The course covers the basis of how things work from the parts that make up the atom to the entire universe. You will leam about everything from kinematics to cosmology and many recent developments in fascinating topics, such as partide physics. If you are interested in the limits of space, the beginning of time and everything in between this is the subject for you. You will apply the key concepts of the laws of physics you leamt at GCSE and become competent in problem solving in a range of different contexts and applications.

Physics trains your brain to think beyond boundaries. It combines practical skill with the theoretical ideas behind them. It will show you how separate GCSE topics su eh as forces, waves, electricity and magnetism are all interconnected.

You will study six modules over the two years of the course. Module 1 consists of practical skills which are integrated throughout modules two to six and you will build up a portfolio of evidence that you have achieved competency in a series of practical, researching and reporting skills. Knowledge of these experimental procedures and practical skills will also be assessed through examination.
