Course information
One of science’s core subjects, students that choose to study an International GCSE Physics will embark upon a journey that predates humanity, as they uncover the basic elements that make up the universe in which our planet exists.
The International GCSE Physics course is designed to help students develop a broad understanding of the facts, concepts and principles that binds physics together, while simultaneously enabling them to harness their investigative skills and the ability to evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of modern scientific developments.
In total there are 7 Modules in this home educated course:
- Module 1: Forces and Motion
- Module 2: Electricity
- Module 3: Waves
- Module 4: Energy Resources and Energy Transfer
- Module 5: Solids, Liquids and Gases
- Module 6: Magnetism and Electromagnetism
- Module 7: Radioactivity and Particles
These modules will be covered in detail throughout a total of 28 lessons, while an additional 12 tutor-marked assignments will challenge the student at regular intervals throughout the course.
The Oxford Home Schooling International GCSE Physics course matches the content of the Edexcel 4PH1 International GCSE specification for exams in 2022 and beyond.

What’s next?
Our International GCSE Physics is a demanding and challenging course that provides students with a wide range of options upon completion. While some go on to study the subject further at A level, others use is at a stepping-stone into other subjects, such as engineering, science or even maths.
In terms of career options, those with a solid understanding of physics often choose to enter well-paid industries such as engineering or scientific research, while others make the bold move into environmental studies in a bid to explore a range of greener and more efficient energy sources.
Supported by Online Videos
In association with Twig World, The International GCSE Physics is enriched by extensive links to appropriate films (and other supporting material), lesson by lesson. The student hops from the course materials to the films and back again.
To access the films, students need a password, supplied at enrolment. Students also need internet access and an e-mail account to benefit from this extraordinary resource which is offered as a “free” extra to students on the relevant courses.
