- Study the course and sit the exams with this course bundle
Studying your A-Level
Physics at A-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 black holes, 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.
This course bundle gives you access to all the A-Level Physics course material as well as the three exams you’ll need to pass to gain your qualification.
The exams will cover everything from periodic motion to thermal physics and everything in between, presented as multiple-choice, short and long answer questions.
While the exams will determine your passing grade, practical knowledge is essential to the sciences. That is why you have the option of taking the practical exam alongside your studies. A separate endorsement of practical skills will be taken alongside the A-Level. This will be assessed by teachers and will be based on direct observation of students’ competency in a range of skills that are not assessable in written exams.
Note that you will have to book your practical exams in advance of your written exams, so take that into account when planning your studies.
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 UK's leading providers of distance learning courses. Which makes us experts at providing you with a comprehensive A Level Physics course.
This allows you to build your learning around your work, family and other commitments. There are no classrooms, no evening classes and no timetables. The only specific deadline to work towards is your exam – exam sittings are held once per year in May or June.
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.
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 in Physics in a manner that reflects your lifestyle, commitments and your approach to learning.
Pursuing your career
An A-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.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
You will be unable to book your exam until all outstanding course fees are settled in full, this includes any associated charges deemed to be payable as per your initial contract.
All courses funded via our partner Premium Credit Limited, will need to be settled with them directly.

Placement or Practical required
Practical assessments will be organised at the time of the exam booking. Labratories that host the practicals are available in Bolton, Birmingham, Cornwall, Newcastle and London. Assessments are on set dates. Practicals must be taken before the written exams.
If placement or practical required, when?
Practical assessments must be completed before sitting the written exams.
Exams required
One of our exam partners will provide the exam centre and oversee the examination process. Should you choose to sit at a centre that is not on our partners list, you will be charged the exam centre finder fee.
Is Membership Required?
No membership is required to enrol on this course.
