  • Albert Einstein 1879-19551921 Nobel Laureate in Physicsfor his services to theoretical physics especially for the discovery of thelaw of the photoelectric effect

  • Physics

    Do I need straight A*s?Yes, especially if you enjoy science and definitely if you plan to do applied maths, aviation, biotechnology, computing, criminology, engineering, forensics, geophysics, medicine, meteorology, metallurgy, optometry, teaching, pharmacy, telecommunications and many moreNo, but you so need 5 grade Cs at GCSE including BB in double award science. A grade C in maths would be very useful.

    Should I consider taking this course?

    What is the structure of the course?Physics in actionUnderstanding processes, experimentation and data handlingPhysics in practice

  • What can I do with physics?Our students have gone on to do some very interestingthings. Here are just a few examples:

    Natural Sciences/Engineering at Cambridge Medicine at Imperial College London Engineering at Loughborough Mechanical Engineering at Nottingham Automotive Engineering at Loughborough Computer Studies at Warwick Physics at Leeds Mechanical Engineering at Loughborough Interior and Spacial Design at Suffolk College Aeronautical Engineering at Loughborough
