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

The Sir Peter Mansfield Imaging Centre is home to the University’s MRI scanners and is named after a colleague who won the Nobel Prize for his part in its invention.

Students can choose to keep their study broad or focus on a specialist area with optional modules in topics ranging from nanoscience to astronomy. There is flexibility to transfer between most physics degrees after the first year.

Nottingham has a proud heritage of innovative and cutting-edge research. The school is ranked joint third of all physics departments in the UK for ‘research power’ (Research Excellence Framework 2014).

The practical learning will teach students the mathematical, computational and problem-solving skills to prepare students for their future career. Students go on to work in industries such as engineering, aerospace, IT, and finance.
