A-Level Mathematics is strongly recommended alongside Physics and is required by most university physics and engineering departments. The mathematical skills from A-Level Maths directly support the Physics syllabus.

The course covers mechanics, waves, electricity, nuclear physics, fields, and quantum physics. Students develop strong problem-solving skills and the ability to apply mathematical models to physical situations.

We use a combination of live demonstrations, virtual physics simulations, and data analysis exercises. Students develop practical skills through guided experiments that meet the Cambridge practical assessment requirements.

Yes, Physics alongside Mathematics is the standard combination for engineering degrees. It develops the fundamental understanding of forces, energy, and materials that engineering programmes require.

Assessment is through written examination papers and a practical skills component. Papers test conceptual understanding, mathematical problem-solving, and the ability to apply physics to real-world scenarios.
