Start Learning Physics to U.K. Degree Programs

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around an individual seeking advice on how to start learning physics with the goal of pursuing a degree in the U.K. They express a preference for alternatives to A Level physics but are encouraged to consider it, especially since they are comfortable with math. Participants suggest that studying chemistry could provide some foundational knowledge in physics. They recommend exploring basic physics textbooks to familiarize themselves with the subject. Ultimately, the individual decides to pursue A Level physics, indicating a commitment to their educational path.

Hi, first of all not if this is right place to post a question like this, basically I do not know much about physis I am ok with maths and want to learn more about physics starting with the simple basics. I eventually would like to go onto to a degree in the U.K. as that is where I am based and was wondering if there is another course I can do apart from A Level phyics which could help me get there. Thank in advance.

well certainly chemistry will touch on some aspects of physics, but idk what else there is. is there a reason you don't want or can't do a-level physics. If you are ok with math then the physics should not be too hard. You could try going to the library and getting a basic physics textbook to see if you can work through some of it and get a feel for how the concepts are presented in terms of math.
 
Thanks for the help there, think I am just going to do the A Level in physics.
 
sounds like a good plan, keep posting here if you have more questions or need help with the A levels
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
