Physics with Integrated Foundation Year

About this programme

This course is available to Home (UK) students and International students who meet the English Language requirements. Our Integrated Foundation Year for science is a thorough, skills-building course that will give you everything you need to start your study of BSc Physics with confidence. Engineering, Physical, Computational and Mathematical sciences underpin modern technological society and can help us provide answers to fundamental questions. Our Foundation Year sets you up so that you’re ready to take on those questions - providing you with opportunities to gain knowledge and understanding of how to get started in studying the sciences at university, including your chosen degree subject. Learning from friendly, expert tutors, you’ll explore modules designed to provide familiarity with Mathematics and computation – the language of modern science and technology, and key for success in science, technology and engineering. Once you have completed your Foundation year, you will normally progress onto the full degree course, BSc Physics. There may also be flexibility to move onto a degree in another department (see end of section, below). Our students often say their enthusiasm to study Physics stems from wanting to learn more about the Higgs particle, dark matter, nanotechnology or just a wide-ranging curiosity about how things really work. Whatever your reasons, our Physics department aims to inform and excite in the study of Physics, the most fundamental of the sciences. As one of the most respected centres for Physics teaching and research in the UK, we can promise y
