This course covers the Cambridge AS Level Physics syllabus (9702), the first year of the full A Level programme. Students will develop a rigorous understanding of physical principles across mechanics, materials, electricity, waves, and quantum physics. The course emphasises mathematical application, experimental design, and data analysis — skills essential for university study in physics, engineering, medicine, and technology. Students will also develop practical competencies through structured laboratory work.
