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

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 also study the core physics modules to give a broad understanding of this exciting subject.

Optional modules on topics ranging from nanoscience to astronomy allow students to focus on a specialist area that interests them. There is flexibility to transfer between most physics degrees after the first year. Practical study will be replaced by more in-depth mathematical study.

Students will be taught all the key mathematical, computational and theoretical skills to help with their future career. Students go on to work in industries such as engineering, aerospace, IT, and finance.
