A level Physics
“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day.”
Albert Einstein
what will you study?
At Greene’s College, A level Physics propels students into deeper exploration of topics introduced at IGCSE level and introduces entirely new concepts such as the study of physical fields.
