IGCSE Cambridge Physics

Cambridge IGCSE Physics helps learners to understand the technological world in which they live, and take an informed interest in science and scientific developments. The syllabus includes the basic principles and concepts that are fundamental to the subject, some current applications of physics, and a strong emphasis on practical skills.

Learners also develop an understanding of the scientific skills essential for progression to Cambridge International AS & A Level, further education or a career related to science.

We revise our qualifications regularly to make sure that they continue to meet the needs of learners, schools and higher education institutions around the world and reflect current thinking. We have updated this syllabus and all assessment materials so they are clearer and more consistent across the three sciences. This is helpful for teachers who are teaching more than one science syllabus, and students who will enjoy a more coherent experience across each science. Please see the 2023–2025 syllabus document for full details on the changes.

What are the main changes to the syllabus?
To support teachers and learners, we have:
updated the learning objectives to demonstrate the depth you should teach each topic. The wording looks different in many places, but the teaching content remains largely the same
updated the topic structure to make sure topics and sub-topics are clearly linked
removed and added topics; including the new addition of space physics, making sure that the teaching time is still within the guided learning hours
included a new section on the language of measurement
reviewed the balance and progression between core and supplement.

Edexcel Physics 

Edexcel International Advanced Subsidiary and Advanced Level Physics has been developed to be engaging for international learners and to give them the necessary skills to support progression to higher education or further study in physics, as well as to a wide range of other subjects.
