A Level Physics

“Physics is not about finding out how nature is; it’s about finding out how nature works.” - Albert Einstein

Physics helps us to understand how the world around us works, from can openers, tsunamis and light bulbs to quarks, DNA and black holes. It is the basis for modern technology, and for the instruments used in scientific, engineering and medical research. Studying A Level Physics will develop your problem solving, analytical, mathematical, practical and communication skills which are valued by employers and universities alike, and which will benefit you for a lifetime.
