Leisure Studies AS

Welcome to Physics AS:

 
I took this subject because I enjoyed the GCSE course and I find the fact that it links directly to everything that happens in our everyday lives very interesting. It will also be beneficial in my career choice involving electrical and electronic engineering, but would also be really useful in a range of careers that have an engineering basis
