2-Term Pathway - Engineering and Physical Sciences Foundation Certificate - Transfer to Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Physics - Theoretical Astrophysics

If a student has finished high school but does not meet the entry requirements for university, a Foundation Certificate can help them to gain entry to an undergraduate degree. Admission to the University of Nottingham can be gained through a pathway course at the University of Nottingham International College. Students will be part of a large international student population at the University of Nottingham. It is a member of the elite Russell Group, and is consistently ranked among the world’s best schools.

Nottingham is home to Nobel Prize-winning research and the popular Sixty Symbols YouTube channel. This course focuses on the sophisticated theoretical techniques and applications of modern physics. Students will study specialist astrophysics modules such as The Structure of Stars and Extreme Astrophysics. Students will also study the core physics modules to give a broad understanding of this exciting subject. There is no practical study on this course after year one. Students will be taught all the key mathematical, computational and theoretical skills to help with your future career. Students go on to work in industries such as engineering, aerospace, IT, and finance.
