Our comprehensive two-year A-Level Courses cover both the AS and A2 components, requiring students to sit exams as private candidates at approved examination centres. Successful completion of all required exams within a single assessment period ensures eligibility for the full A-Level qualification.

The A-level Physics course offers students a comprehensive and engaging exploration of the fundamental principles that govern the physical world. Designed to facilitate a seamless transition from previous studies, this course aims to ignite students’ interest and enthusiasm for physics, fostering a deep appreciation for the intricate workings of the universe. With a curriculum structured to cover a wide range of topics, students are exposed to key concepts in mechanics, electricity, optics, and beyond, laying a solid foundation for further academic and professional pursuits in the field of physics.

One of the notable features of this course is its emphasis on practical learning and application. In addition to theoretical knowledge, students are expected to engage in hands-on laboratory work, undertaking a series of Core Practicals designed to enhance their understanding of key physics principles. These practical exercises not only reinforce theoretical concepts but also foster critical thinking skills and scientific inquiry, empowering students to explore the intricacies of physics through experimentation and observation. Furthermore, the inclusion of practical assessments provides students with valuable opportunities to develop their practical skills and demonstrate their proficiency in real-world physics applications.

Throughout the course, students benefit from ongoing support and guidance from experienced tutors who facilitate their learning journey. With tutor-marked assignments offered after each chapter, students receive personalised feedback and guidance to reinforce their understanding and address areas for improvement. Additionally, students have access to a wealth of online resources and supporting textbooks, allowing for a tailored approach to learning that accommodates individual preferences and learning styles. Whether accessing supplementary materials through online platforms or referring to recommended textbooks, students have the flexibility to customise their learning experience to suit their unique needs and preferences.

Moreover, the integration of practical assessments and theoretical study aligns with the demands of the new A-level award, equipping students with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in both academic and practical assessments. By providing a balanced approach to physics education that combines theoretical rigour with hands-on experimentation, this course empowers students to develop the analytical, problem-solving, and practical skills required to thrive in the field of physics. Ultimately, the A-level Physics course serves as a springboard for students to pursue further studies or embark on rewarding careers in physics-related fields, offering a solid foundation upon which to build a successful future in the sciences.
