Physics (with Foundation Year) - BSc (Hons)

We believe in learning by doing – that’s why you’ll be building practical skills alongside an exploration of fundamental physics topics, such as the ideas of motion and mathematical techniques. During your foundation year we’ll build your physics skills and mathematics knowledge, and application of these concepts, so you are ready to move onto BSc (Hons) Physics in your second year. We support you every step of the way to becoming a confident physics graduate. Part of that is giving you lots of hands-on experience through volunteering in our research labs, applying for a work placement and working on industry projects. This course is perfect for you if you have a keen interest in physics. It really is the perfect blend of learning, both in the classroom and in the lab. We'll build your knowledge and theory whilst developing your hands-on skills in our well-equipped laboratories. This course is an integrated foundation degree, where you'll progress onto our BSc (Hons) Physics course, once you successfully complete your foundation year. If your interests lie in other areas of physics, you can also transfer on to our BSc (Hons) Physics with Astrophysics or BSc (Hons) Physics with Nuclear Technology course after your foundation year.
