Physics
Course aims
The course aims to provide a stimulating and worthwhile programme of study which will broaden students’ understanding of the physical world around them. It develops logical thought processes and problem solving skills. The course is based on applications of Physics in the everyday world and beyond. Practical work is an integral part of the course. As a hub school for The Ogden Trust, our students are provided with an extensive enrichment programme including Stargazing sessions, Space Centre Masterclasses, lectures and engineering talks. The Ogden Trust also provides opportunities for students who are planning to study Physics at university to apply for residential courses at Russell Group universities and undergraduate scholarships to the value of £6000.
