**Course overview** - If you’re interested in solving problems and finding out how things work, then our Physics Foundation Entry degree is a stepping stone to our Physics degrees. - Foundation Entry degree courses are ideal if you’ve got the ability to study for a degree, but don’t have the necessary formal qualifications to directly join an honours programme. - The Foundation Year is the same for all physics and astrophysics students. Small classes are kept small, so you’ll benefit from lots of support. **Why study with us** - You’ll study three physics modules (60 credits) and four mathematics modules (60 credits), which will help you develop an understanding of the fundamentals of classical and quantum physics. - You’ll also gain the mathematical ability to express those ideas alongside laboratory experience to perform real physics experiments. - Successful completion of the Foundation Year can lead to any of the full BSc (Hons)/MPhys Physics or Astrophysics degrees. **Further information** If you are planning a career in scientific research, we would strongly recommend you consider the year longer MPhys (Hons) qualification.
