Studying your A-Level / IA-Level

Physics at A/iA Level gives you the opportunity to study the phenomena of the universe and the theories which underpin it.

During your course you will study the various facets of Physics including Particles and Radiation, Nuclear Physics, Astrophysics and Mechanics.

As you explore each of these subjects you will cover a range of topics including supernovas and blackholes, molecular kinetic theory, quarks and antiquarks.

You will gain a superior understanding of the key principles which will allow you to develop hypotheses of your own in preparation for your further study.

Upon completion of the course you will have the knowledge required to take your study of Physics to degree level and beyond.

Getting Started

learndirect is one of the UKs leading providers of distance learning courses. Which makes us experts at providing you with a comprehensive Physics course. This course is designed to cover both the AQA A Level and the Pearson IA-Level specifications, so you have the choice of which version to take.

You can build your learning around your work, family and other commitments. There are no classrooms, no evening classes and no timetables.

Because your course is entirely online you can study at a pace that suits you. Which means you can complete the course as quickly (or as slowly) as you like. The only specific deadline to work towards is your exams – A-Level exam sittings are held once per year in May or June; and IA-Levels are held twice a year in summer and autumn.

Our online student portal has all the learning materials you need to complete your course. As soon as you’ve enrolled it’ll be ready and waiting for you to begin.

You will also get the support of a dedicated and qualified tutor throughout the course. They will provide guidance and feedback on your assignments as well as be on hand for any advice.

Ultimately this allows you to study and complete your A-Level / IA-Level in Physics in a manner that reflects your lifestyle, commitments and your approach to learning.

Pursuing your career

An A-Level or IA-Level in Physics can allow you to go on to study Physics at university. However, your desired university will have entry requirements so be sure to check the grade required in this and associated subjects.

Modules

During your studies you will cover the following modules:
