Physics at A-level takes the knowledge gained at GCSE and extends this to include topics such as forces, motion, electricity, electromagnetism, waves, gravity, astronomy and applications in the real world. Physics is a broad subject and is well respected, allowing entry to many universities and courses including science, engineering, computing and even finance.

About this course
The course aims to develop understanding in a wide range of physics topics, and well as improving analytical and laboratory based practical skills.
Most students who take A-level Physics want to progress onto a technically based subject at university, including research. It is ideally suited to those with a logical mind, and some mathematical skills are useful.
GCSE (or equivalent) in Maths and Science at B grade or higher are ideal requirements, although we are happy to look at individual circumstances of course.
This is a 1 year course, and we are unique in Bristol in offering 1 year A-level courses.
We will contact you, answer any questions you may have and invite you for an informal discussion about the course and your future plans.
100% of students who have taken and completed the course have been successful. Overall, last year 67% of our students achieved and B grades.
