Introduction
The A Level OCR physics `A` specification courses offered provide a very good basis for students to progress into further education to study physics or engineering, or to enter employment where a knowledge of physics would be useful. The course includes the study of electricity, magnetism, forces, fields, motion and the frontiers of physics and other topics. Students are given the opportunity to develop their interest and enthusiasm as they progress through the course, where the emphasis is on understanding the concepts taught. Lesson time is divided between practical and theory work. To reinforce what is learnt in class it is expected that students will spend a considerable amount of time in independent study and regular assignments will be set.
Entry Requirements
GCSE grades 6/6 in Combined Science. A grade 6 in the chosen science subject and a grade 6 in GCSE Mathematics is required.
