The course looks at a number of topics ranging from particles and radiation to electricity and from nuclear physics to thermal physics. In developing its new specifications, AQA has worked to ensure that the subject content is relevant to real‐world experience and is interesting to learn. This physics
course is a stepping stone to future study, which is why AQA also consulted universities, to ensure these specifications allow students to develop the skills.
This approach has led to specifications that will nurture a passion for physics and lay the groundworks for further study in science or engineering based roles. An A Level in Physics demonstrates not only a sound mathematical competency but also the ability to clearly explain some of the most challenging concepts around.
Course Breakdown
A Level Physics is a two year course consisting of nine topics. The exams for which are carried out at the end of the second year. There is also a practical skills and data analysis paper and students are required to complete a number of core practical tasks within lessons to complete the course.
