Physics stands as a captivating and indispensable discipline, delving into the intricate dynamics that govern the natural world across time and space. From the electrifying currents coursing through circuits to the celestial bodies that dot the vast expanse of the universe, physics encapsulates the essence of existence itself. Through this course, students embark on a journey of discovery, gaining invaluable insights into the fundamental principles that underpin the universe and acquiring a profound understanding of the myriad interactions shaping the world around them.
At its core, physics unravels the mysteries of the universe, offering a lens through which students can explore the inner workings of matter, energy, and forces. By delving into topics such as electricity, magnetism, gravity, and motion, students gain a deeper appreciation for the underlying principles governing natural phenomena. Moreover, the study of physics fosters critical thinking skills and analytical reasoning, empowering students to decipher complex problems and unravel the intricacies of the physical world through logical deduction and scientific inquiry.
Through this course, students not only expand their theoretical knowledge but also cultivate practical skills through hands-on experimentation and exploration. From conducting laboratory experiments to analysing real-world phenomena, students engage in a dynamic learning experience that bridges theory with application. By immersing themselves in practical exercises and laboratory work, students develop a keen intuition for scientific inquiry and gain invaluable insights into the practical applications of physics in various fields, from engineering to astrophysics.
Furthermore, the study of physics opens doors to a myriad of opportunities in academia, research, and industry. With its interdisciplinary nature and wide-ranging applications, a background in physics equips students with versatile skills that are highly sought after by universities and employers alike. Whether pursuing further studies in physics or venturing into diverse fields such as engineering, medicine, or renewable energy, students armed with a solid foundation in physics are poised to make meaningful contributions to society and tackle the complex challenges of the modern world. Thus, the A-level Physics course serves as a gateway to a world of discovery, offering students the tools and knowledge they need to unravel the mysteries of the universe and embark on a journey of scientific exploration and innovation.
Course Key Topics
the A-Level Physics AQA course is divided into 3 modules.
Module 1: Core Content
- Measurements and their errors
- Particles and radiation
- Waves
This first module starts the course by covering some basic general concepts that you will take with you and develop through your studies. The first topic is concerned with measurements and the correct use of SI modules. We also introduce the concept of error in any given measurement and discover how to calculate this property. We then look at the atom and discover atomic models and the makeup of atoms, and how different forms of radiation are the result of different particle behaviour. Finally, we look at waves including the different types of wave, their properties and how they behave.
Module 2: Core content
- Mechanics and materials
- Electricity
The second module consists of more core content and is focused on the transference of energy, forces and momentum and how these three are intrinsically linked. We look and scalars and vectors and different types of motion and the forces and calculations involved with these. The electricity section introduces the basics of electricity, current and voltage, before building on this to describe resistivity, current-voltage characteristics and the different components of a circuit.
Module 3: Core Content and Options
- Further mechanics and thermal physics
- Fields and their consequences
- Nuclear physics
The core content of module 3 builds on the earlier mechanics content and introduces new types of motion including periodic, circular and simple harmonic motion. Thermal physics introduces the intricacies behind the transferal of energy between different substances, ideal gases and the model of molecular kinetic theory relating to Brownian motion. We then take a look at the different types of field and develop the ideas of gravitational, electrostatic and magnetic fields as unifying concepts throughout physics. We look at these fields in context considering planets, capacitors and electromagnetic induction. The module’s core content finishes by looking at radioactivity; the different types of radiation, radioactive decay and Rutherford’s “scattering” model.
Options:
- Astrophysics
- Medical physics
- Engineering physics
- Turning points in physics
- Electronics
Module 3 finishes with a number of optional modules that look at physics in a more contextual way. Examples include how physics is applied in the study of the universe in the production and application of telescopes. There is also the option to look at medical physics; including the physics of sight and hearing as well as medical instrumentation. When students are entered for the module 3 paper, one of these options is selected for examination.

A-Level Examinations - What is the process?
Course Examinations
The A-Level Physics AQA course at Open Learning College is designed to provide a comprehensive and flexible learning experience.
Examination Centres serve as venues for GCSEs or A Levels assessments, typically local schools or community colleges accepting Private Candidates for examinations.
As a distance learner enrolled in A Levels or Fast Track A Level courses, you’ll need to identify a suitable Examination Center for your upcoming exams. We recommend initiating this process in January of the exam year.
For instance, if your exams are scheduled for May/June 2025, you should start searching for an Examination Center in January 2025. To secure the best rates, it’s advisable to compare prices and begin early. As the exam period approaches, costs tend to rise.
If you’re a recent school leaver or retaking exams, consider contacting your former school to inquire about opportunities for sitting exams as a Private Candidate, possibly at reduced or no cost.
To aid our students in locating nearby centres, we’ve compiled a list of established centres across the UK, where previous students have obtained exam discounts. These centres ensure placement for A Level and GCSE exams.
At Open Learning College, we strive to make the studying and exam experience as seamless and stress-free as possible. If you still have questions or require assistance, our friendly team is here to help.
AS levels can be taken as a stand-alone qualification, but they no longer make up the first part of a full A level course. Studying a new syllabus A level, you will need to sit all of your exams in one sitting. If you are unsure about your subject or syllabus then please feel free to speak to one of our student advisers.
All examinations are held during the May / June exam period of every year.

Course Qualification - What qualification will I receive?
Course Qualifications
Course QualificationsAn A level is the gold standard of British Further Education. Normally studied over two years by 16 to 18 year olds, the A level is the most common qualification needed to progress to university.
Our A-Level distance learning courses consist of two components: the AS level and the 2nd Year (A2 level). Although they cover similar amounts of material, the A2 level typically includes more challenging concepts.
AS level exams can be taken after one year of study, but their results no longer contribute to A-Level grades, as AS level is now a separate qualification.
Most of our A-Level courses are evaluated through written exam papers, while subjects like English Language, English Literature, and History may include coursework, known as non-exam assessment (NEA), which is assessed and moderated by our tutors.
Examinations are held annually in the summer, with no winter examination sessions available.
Our A Level Accounting programmes are eligible for UCAS points, making them a great choice for students aiming to progress to University. UCAS points are awarded according to the grade earned, please see below for details.
A levels are also widely recognised by employers and are useful for students looking to progress their careers or meet requirements for promotion.
