It explains the value of studying physics after GCSE, the skills developed for future study and careers, and highlights common degree pathways and job roles. The guide sets expectations for attendance, punctuality, equipment, homework and revision time, and outlines exam board course information for AQA AS (7407) and A-level (7408).","HILLCREST SIXTH FORM  \nPhysics Welcome Pack  \nYou’re studying AS or A-level Physics, congratulations!  \nStudying physics after your GCSEs really develops your practical and mathematical skills. If you enjoy experimenting in the lab, you’ll love it. At first, you may find the jump in demand from GCSE a little daunting, but if you follow the tips and advice in this guide, you’ll soon adapt. I recommend you keep this somewhere safe, as you may like to refer to the information inside throughout your studies.  \nStudying Physics A-level makes you very lucky…and desirable  \nAs physicists, you will explore the fundamental nature of almost everything we know of. You will study everything from the fundamental particles that build matter, to the galaxies that make up the universe itself. You will be joining a discipline where you will get to enter a world deep beneath the surface of normal human experience. Even if you don’t decide to work in physics, studying it still develops useful and transferable skills for other careers. You’ll develop research, problem solving and analytical skills, alongside teamwork and communication. Universities and business regard all of these very highly.  \nYour future begins here, now.  \nAccording to [bestcourse4me.com](bestcourse4me.com) the top seven degree courses taken by students who studied A-level Physics are:  \n• Physics  \n• Mathematics  \n• Mechanical Engineering  \n• Computer Science  \n• Civil Engineering  \n• Economics  \n• Business  \nStudying Physics at A-level or degree level opens up all sorts of career opportunities, making you one of the most employable group of people in society. Some potential career paths include:  \n• Geophysicist/field seismologist  \n• Healthcare scientist, medical physics  \n• Higher education lecturer or secondary school teacher  \n• Radiation protection practitioner  \n• Research scientist (physical sciences)  \n• Scientific laboratory technician  \n• Meteorologist  \n• Structural, mechanical or civil engineer  \n• Electrical engineer  \n• Product/process development scientist  \n• Systems developer  \n• Public relations  \n• Human resources  \n• Management  \nYou can also move into engineering, astrophysics, chemical physics, nanotechnology, renewable energy and so many more.  \nWith physics, your opportunities are endless and infinite.  \nDon’t lose sight of your future ambitions during your A-level course. Actively speak to your teachers about your plans for your future. They can support you in many ways by linking your learning directly to your interests and career plans, highlighting higher education and work experience opportunities and assisting you with UCAS applications alongside interview and PAT (Physics Aptitude Test) preparation.  \nThe Basics  \nExam board and course information AQA AS Physics (7407).
