Salters Horners Advanced Physics

The Salters Horners Advanced Physics Course (SHAP) was launched in September 1998. Together with the Salters Company, the Horners have sponsored the development of Salters Horners A2 and AS Level Physics. The courses are produced by the Science Education Group at the University of York and aim to stimulate and capture interest in the subject by being application led.

In 2011 approximately 2350 students followed the A2 course and approximately 5900 students followed the AS level.
