Course Summary

The course combines a comprehensive study of physics with one year of study abroad in Europe. You will get a working knowledge of a European language and a different culture. Language tuition, including some physics tutorials in the language, forms an integral part of the course. Exchanges are supported by the European Union's ERASMUS programme and by the European Physical Society. Most students study at universities in France, Spain, Italy and Germany.

Points of Entry

The following entry points are available for this course:

Year 1

Entry Requirements for Advanced Entry (Year 2 and Beyond)

Entry Requirements for Advanced Entry are not listed for this Course.

International applicants

Standard Qualification Requirements

Grades A*A*A, with A* in Physics and Mathematics.

Three Scottish Advanced Highers with grades AAA, with grade A in Physics and Mathematics or two Scottish Advanced Highers in Physics and Mathematics with grades AA and two Scottish Highers in other subjects with grades AA.

AS level results are not considered as part of the standard admissions process at The University of Manchester.

Given that it is not possible to meet our published offer conditions within an Access course, we would not recommend an Access course as the best way of preparing for our courses. However, we would look very carefully at any applications from exceptional Access students who were on track to gain the AAA equivalent (45 credits at level 3 awarded at distinction). We would treat any such exceptional students on a case-by-case basis, looking very carefully at past academic history and the academic reference; promising candidates would be invited to interview to add supplementary information. A decision would be made about entry holistically on the basis of all information (including details of the course undertaken) and would usually be conditional on the above standard.

Three Scottish Advanced Highers with grades AAA, with grade A in Physics and Mathematics or two Scottish Advanced Highers in Physics and Mathematics with grades AA and two Scottish Highers in other subjects with grades AA.

We require DD plus grades A*A* in A-Level Physics and Mathematics.

The University recognises the benefits of the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) and the opportunities it provides for applicants to develop independent study and research skills. Although the Extended Project will not be included in the conditions of your offer, we strongly encourage you to provide information about the EPQ in your personal statement and at interview. A number of our academic Schools may also choose to take your performance in the EPQ into account should places be available in August for applicants who narrowly miss the entry grades for their chosen course.

We require DD plus grades A*A* in A-Level Physics and Mathematics.

38 points overall with 7, 7, 6 at Higher Level, including 7 in Physics and Mathematics.

Mature students are some of our most well-equipped learners, bringing skills and attributes gained from work, family and other life experiences.  Students come from a whole array of backgrounds, study every kind of course, undertake full-time and part-time learning and are motivated by career intentions as well as personal interest.  There is no such thing as a typical mature student at Manchester.  The application process is the same as for other prospective undergraduates.  If you require further clarification about the acceptability of the qualifications you hold please contact the academic School(s) you plan to apply to.  Further information for mature students can be found here (http://www.manchester.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/mature-students/)

English language requirements

Test Grade AdditionalDetails
IELTS (Academic) 6.0 With no less than 5.5 in each sub-test.

GCSE English Language minimum Grade C or Grade 4 in newly reformed GCSEs. The UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) requires that every student from outside the UK and the EU must show evidence of a minimum level of English Language in order to be granted a UK visa (Tier 4 visa) to study at undergraduate or postgraduate level. This level is often referred to as the 'B2 level'. Additionally, our individual Schools may ask for specific English Language proficiency levels that are necessary for their academic programmes. In most cases these requirements are likely to be higher than the B2 level.
