A-Level Physics Distance Learning Course by Oxbridge

Description

Fascinated by the world around you and find yourself wondering about its intricate workings? A-level Physics is your gateway to deciphering these enigmas, ranging from massive galactic phenomena to minuscule atomic particles! This comprehensive A-Level Physics course delves into everything from Newton's gravitational law to electromagnetic wave frequencies and planetary orbits, equipping you with a robust understanding of physics, priming you for advanced studies.

Our A-Level Physics course unveils how physical science shapes our society and operates within the world. This programme imparts a myriad of skills including data interpretation, investigative techniques, and evaluation, all of which are transferable to any future career. It is an extension of the concepts and skills developed in GCSE Physics and is also suitable for those with a GCSE Additional Science course or equivalent.

This home-study course is aligned with the new AQA A-Level Physics syllabus, specially crafted for online study at your own pace. Enjoy unlimited tutor support, a clear induction, and well-structured assignments that aid in cultivating the necessary skills and knowledge for your examination. You also get guaranteed access to one of our exam centres for your final A-Level examinations if you are in the UK.

Benefits of this course include:

As the foundational science, physics spans studies from cosmic objects to infinitesimal atomic particles.

AQA qualifications are internationally recognised, taught in 30 countries, highly valued by employers and universities, and enable students to progress to the next phase of their lives. AQA qualifications cater to a range of abilities and include GCSEs, IGCSEs and A-levels.

⏱ Study Hours
