Physics A Level Course
This distance learning A Level Physics course has been designed to the latest specifications. The first available exam dates for this version of the AQA Physics A Level are in June 2017.
Physics is one of the most challenging A Level courses we offer. You will study the most fundamental principles of the universe, and the scientific methods needed in order to understand and interpret them. Physics is a highly respected subject, and is looked favourably upon by universities and employers, primarily because of its difficulty, but also because of the scope of its potential application.
This AQA syllabus takes in a wide variety of theoretical and applied physics, from engineering, medical physics and advanced electronics all the way through to astrophysics and particle theory. This breadth makes A Level physics a valuable qualification for many different kinds of student, from the highly academic to the more practically focused.
In accordance with the latest specifications, this course has been designed to encourage students to:
- Develop their interest in and enthusiasm for the subject, including developing an interest in further study and careers associated with the subject
