Physics is the attempt to explain how everything in the universe works: from particles smaller than an atom to the evolution of the universe itself by using simple terms and applying mathematics. If you are interested in the limits of space, the beginning of time and everything in between this is the subject for you. Physics is more than a subject - it trains your brain to think beyond boundaries. Why should you study Physics? If you are concerned about what you can do with Physics, then you can stop worrying now. Best case scenario you will get to solve the mysteries of the universe and change our understanding of the world around us. Maybe you will do something more applied, such as a form of Engineering, Optometry or Radiography; or maybe you will work in management consulting or investment banking and become incredibly rich. Physics is the natural partner of Maths at A-level, with the two subjects supporting and consolidating similar topics. At Bournville we are also fortunate to offer Computer Science an A-level which is an excellent addition to a Physicist.
