Physics with Integrated Foundation Year
Royal Holloway, University of London
Entry requirements
A level: CCC-CCD (Required subjects: A-levels in Mathematics We require English and Mathematics GCSE at grade 4(C) T-levels We accept T-levels for admission to our undergraduate courses, with the following grades regarded as equivalent to our standard A-level requirements: AAA* – Distinction (A* on the core and distinction in the occupational specialism) AAA – Distinction BBB – Merit CCC – Pass (C or above on the core) DDD – Pass (D or E on the core) Where a course specifies subject-specific requirements at A-level, T-level applicants are likely to be asked to offer this A-level alongside their T-level studies.) IB: 24 points overall with 4 in either HL Maths Analysis & Approaches or Applications & Interpretations
About this course
Physics with Integrated Foundation Year (BSc), beginning with a foundation year of mathematics, physical sciences and programming. Core topics include programming, computer architecture, microelectronics, data analysis, mathematical modelling and laboratory techniques. After the foundation year, students normally progress to the three-year BSc Physics degree. The final year includes an experimental or theoretical project.
