    A levels Levels
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the excitement and anxiety of finishing A Levels and awaiting results, with a focus on personal aspirations and future plans. One participant expresses a mix of sadness about leaving school and optimism about achieving high grades (A,A,A,A* and distinction) in subjects like chemistry, physics, mathematics, and astronomy. They plan to study physics at university, specifically mentioning Cardiff University, and are considering switching to a physics with astronomy degree after the first year. Concerns about practical work in the physics program are shared, with reassurance offered that practical skills can be managed. The conversation also touches on the importance of profiles for better engagement and the challenges of advanced theoretical topics in physics. Overall, the thread highlights the transitional phase from school to university and the shared experiences of students navigating this change.

Finished A Levels!
yay:biggrin:
now i have to wait over a month to get results , hmm.(im sure like many of u)

bit sad to leave skl tho :frown: i'll miss the place, friends, teachers, familiar faces.

anyway wish me luck, I'm aiming for...
A,A,A,A* and distinction(I wish(!) made a lot of silly mistakes which may have cost me. so frustrating), for chem, phys maths astronomy(GCSE) and phys AEA, then i'll be doing physics at uni although i only need ABC
o:) :blushing:

P.S. Good Luck! all you people out there waiting for results!
 
Physics news on Phys.org
hey what university r u going to ?
What type of physics ? general?
how many yrs 3 or 4 ?
are you doing physics alone..or phys with...?
what are you planning to do after university?
don't worry about those silly mistakes plus u only need abc ..
good luck with your results ...i don't know the date of ur message ...---time traveler---
 
lol wasn't expecting replies, ...---time traveler--- eh?
im doing 4 years physics at Cardiff Uni, i might change the degree to phys with astronomy at end of first year depending on how it goes. (dates at the top of the message, above my username). I am scared of practical work, but cardiff doesn't do plain theoretical degree, so i'll have to manage.
what about you? your profile doesn't shed much light on you.

yeah i should add something to my profile..,in fact i will ,i would say that you shouldn't worry too much about practical work that shouldn't be a problem...you must really love maths (not a statement ..said in a sarcastic tone or something) to do theoretical...quantum field theory in your last year or unification or something like that those are killers...
 

Thread 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
