What you will study
Physics uses mathematical models and experimental evidence to explain matter, energy and interactions. Students develop quantitative reasoning, investigate physical relationships and evaluate the limitations of models.
Assessment and practical work
The A-level includes written examinations and a separately reported Practical Endorsement. Practical skills and data analysis also form part of written assessment; use your course specification for the paper structure.
