Physics is the branch of science which is concerned with matter and energy. Studying Physics provides you with an understanding of the fundamental principles of the universe. Covering topics such as particles and radiation to electronics.
This qualification is a gateway to higher education and is perfect for students planning on studying engineering or sciences.
During this A Level course in Physics you will cover subjects like mechanics, particles, radiation and astrophysics. Due to the scope of topics covered A Level Physics is favoured among universities and employers.
You will develop and hone your skills in the subject as well as gaining a real enthusiasm for the subject matter. Physics makes an ideal choice for those students with interests in medicine, science and engineering.
Upon successful completion of the exam and practical assessments (as administered by AQA), you will have achieved an internationally recognised AQA A Level Physics.
This course is divided into 3 units:
Unit 1: Content from topics 1-5 and 6.1
Written examination: 2 hours. 34% of A-Level. 85 Marks
Unit 2: Content from topics 1 to 6.1, 6.2, 7 and 8

Your A-Level grade will be based on written examinations. However, to pass you must undergo an assessment of practical skills. These are:
Structured in thirteen topics across three exams AQA A-Level Physics contains both compulsory and optional content.
If the content is listed as optional you have a choice of questions relating to these topics when you sit your exam. Your tutor may advise on what topics you should focus on when studying.
Topic 1: Measurements and their errors
Topic 2: Particles and radiation
Topic 3: Waves
Topic 4: Mechanics and materials
Topic 5: Electricity
Topic 6: Further mechanics and thermal physics
Topic 7: Fields and their consequences
Topic 8: Nuclear physics
Topic 9: Astrophysics
Topic 10: Medical physics
Topic 11: Engineering physics
Topic 12: Turing points in physics
Topic 13: Electronics
The AQA A Level Physics qualification is gained once all 3 exam papers and 12 practical assessments are successfully completed. These exams are administered by the AQA and assessment centre details will be included with your course, as well as practice papers so that you are more than prepared for your assessments.
The practicals are not marked, but you will need to be observed by an examination centre to demonstrate competence in the different techniques. The practicals are usually held in Spring of each year, while the written exams are in May/June.
In addition, there will be a number of tutor marked assessments (TMAs) to ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the course materials, with the tutor sending comments to guide you through any areas of potential difficulty, as well as a range of self-assessments that are indicators that you understand the materials as you work through them. These are for your own information, and do not need to be shown to your course tutor.
Online and Paper Based
The course is primarily an online course using a Learning Management System (LMS).
The online course has many features that cannot be printed such as embedded videos, forums and interactive tests.
The course includes Tutor Marked Assessments which you access and submit through the online system.
Our A Level courses come with tutor feedback and support by email for 24 months. They will mark your TMAs and provide valuable guidance through any trickier parts of the course whenever you need it. You will also receive a study guide to help you with all aspects of studying, essay writing and general student skills.
