Physics with a Foundation Year

Physics sits at the heart of our understanding of the universe, from the behaviour of subatomic particles to the large-scale structure of space and time. It is a discipline built on careful observation, mathematical reasoning, and the willingness to question received wisdom, and it underpins much of modern technology, medicine, and engineering. Studying physics trains you to think rigorously and to approach complex, unfamiliar problems with confidence. This four-year programme includes a foundation year designed to bring you fully up to speed before you begin the main degree. The foundation year is intended for students who have not studied all the prerequisite subjects needed for direct first-year entry, for those whose results were affected by difficult circumstances, and for mature students returning to education or care leavers. Once you complete the foundation year successfully, yo
