About the course

This Physics Foundation Entry course is a one-year preparation for a degree programme that will equip you to work as a professional physicist. During your Foundation Entry Year, you’ll study alongside peers from related courses, as you gain a broad introduction to the fundamentals of classical and quantum physics. You’ll also develop the mathematical ability to express those ideas, and the laboratory experience to perform real physics experiments. As you evaluate the social, environmental and financial consequences of your actions as a scientist, it’s also your chance to make a positive and sustained contribution to the wider community. The course, which meets the requirements for professional physicists and is accredited by the Institute of Physics, also places an emphasis on workplace skills. A Foundation Entry degree course such as this one is ideal if you’ve got the ability to study for a degree, but don’t have the necessary formal qualifications to directly join an honours programme. It’s a great stepping stone to a full degree. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
