Admissions |
| |
To join this degree programme candidates will normally need to obtain 340 points from 21 units including a minimum of grade A in Physics and A in Mathematics at A-level.
Equivalent levels of performance in other internationally recognised qualifications (including BTEC, the International Baccalaureate, the European Baccalaureate, the French Baccalaureate, the German Abitur, Scottish Highers and the Irish Leaving Certificate) are also acceptable. Candidates whose first language is not English are required to reach a satisfactory standard in an approved test in English.
Mature students without any of the above qualifications are encouraged to apply if recent successful study has been undertaken at an appropriate level in Physics and Mathematics. The Admissions Tutor is happy to talk to candidates in advance of a formal UCAS application.
All individuals are selected and treated on their relative merits and abilities in line with the University's Equal Opportunities Policy. Disabled applicants will be treated according to the same procedures as any other applicant with the added involvement of the Disability Office to assess their needs. The programme may require adaptation for students with disabilities (eg: hearing impairment, visual impairment, mobility difficulties, dyslexia), particularly the practical laboratory sessions, and we will attempt to accommodate students wherever possible. |
