Overview

The IGCSE Physics course will help you acquire a body of scientific knowledge and the skills to apply this in domestic, industrial and environmental contexts. You will develop experimental and investigating skills based on safe, correct laboratory techniques.

You will learn to form hypotheses and design experiments to test them, and to evaluate, in terms of scientific knowledge, the benefits and drawbacks of scientific and technological developments.

And you will learn to select, organise and present information clearly and logically, using appropriate scientific terms and conventions.

The Physics IGCSE is appropriate for delivery in schools and colleges and is graded A* to G, with assessment via two exams.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
