International A-Level
Physics
Understand the Universe — from Particles to Planets
Cambridge International A-Level Physics (9702) is your gateway to understanding the laws that govern the physical world — from subatomic particles to space and electromagnetism. This A-Level Physics online course follows the full CIE specification, taught through live lessons, virtual practicals and tutor support, wherever in the world you're based. Whether you're comparing this to studying physics at a level locally or looking for a genuine way to study A-Level Physics at home, the course is built to match the same standard as an in-person sixth form.

Cambridge International doesn't offer a separate "Further Physics" qualification in the way Further Mathematics exists — this course covers the full standard A-Level Physics (9702) specification, including all advanced A2-level topics.
The course follows the CIE (Cambridge International) A-Level Physics syllabus (9702) — the same specification used by Cambridge-accredited schools worldwide.
