The IGCSE in Physics is designed as a two-year course of study and combines the features of Edexcel’s O level and GCSE in Physics. Students will be required to demonstrate specified knowledge and critical understanding of seven content areas: forces and motion, electricity, waves, energy resources and transfer, solids, liquids and gases, magnetism and electromagnetism and radioactivity and particles. Practical work can be assessed through coursework or through a written alternative paper.
