Entry CriteriaEntry into Level 3 Physics requires successful completion of a Level 2 course in Physics (14 or more credits at a minimum of Achieved level). Level 3 Physics is mainly externally assessed, so Achievement in both external assessments in Level 2 is highly recommended.
Students must also meet the requirements to study a Level 3 NCEA Award.
Level 3 Physics
This course is excellent preparation for university Physics and covers a wide range of topics and skills, including the study of planetary motion, oscillations, AC circuits, and the Doppler Effect. The broad topics are mechanical, wave and electrical systems.
Course selection does not guarantee a course will be available or that you have approval to take a course. Final course confirmation is in January and depends on your final results and in rare cases, staff availability.
