Why do Physics?
Physics will allow you to study the world around you at every level – from the smallest particle to galaxies remote in space and time. At the same time, you will consider how physics plays its part within medicine, industry and cosmology. You will get the opportunity to develop logical problem solving skills, carry out practical work, and apply your knowledge to the real world.
What will I study?
You will study a range of topics, which expand on your GCSE work.
Topics include:
The extra stuff at RSFC
Physics students will get the opportunity to work in state-of-the art labs, equipped with the latest facilities, equipment and technology. In addition, there will be many exciting opportunities for practical work and trips/visits to places of interest.
What can I do with Physics after college?
Physics students are sought after by industry and universities for the excellent skills they have. Most students progress to university to take degrees in scientific subjects, engineering, medicine, electronics, architecture and physical sciences. Physics is also a useful foundation for subjects such as finance, business and IT.
What do I need to do Physics?
You will need to meet the normal college entry criteria for AS/A2 courses. In addition, you will need a grade C in GCSE Higher Tier Maths and Additional Science/Physics. It is strongly recommended that you also take AS/A2 Mathematics with Physics.
