Where do you think choosing physics could take you?
Could it be to a game studio, designing the next Minecraft? Or to the Met Office, creating computer models to predict climate change? Perhaps into education, to inspire the next generation? Or to a hospital, using physics to help to save lives?
If you have an enquiring mind and an urge to find out about and understand the world around you then Physics is the subject for you.
You need to have performed well in Mathematics at GCSE and a study of Mathematics at AS level would be advantageous, but by no means essential.
A level Physics is a facilitating subject associated with many careers. If you are considering one of these it will give purpose to your A level studies.
There are thousands of exciting, rewarding physics-related careers to choose from – picking just one is hard. Hulme has taught people working in some of those industries, and we want to help you understand what their jobs involve and to see what a future with physics could look like
You will have experienced, enthusiastic teachers who have trained other Physics teachers across the north west and written A-level Physics textbooks explaining the skills necessary to reach an A/A* grade.
You will study:
- Particles and radiation
- Nuclear Physics
- Waves
- Fields and their consequences
- Mechanics and materials
- Further mechanics and thermal physics
- Electricity
- Option Unit
- Measurements and their errors
Students should have achieved a GCSE grade 7 in Separate Science or 7,7 in Trilogy if they are to be successful at A Level Physics.
