F301, you normally need three A levels, including Physics and Mathematics. Typical grades offered are three C's. In certain circumstances two A levels of sufficiently high grade may be accepted, or one or two AS levels may be substituted for the third subject. General Studies is not acceptable. For Single Honours MPhys, and Joint Honours Physics and Mathematics, the requirements are B in Physics or Mathematics, and two further C's.
Careful consideration is given to applicants with non-A level qualifications.
All applicants are invited to interview and offers of admission are made on an individual basis. A number of scholarships, worth 350 per annum for three or four years, depending on the course, are awarded by the Department on a competitive basis following interview. The four year Integrated BSc has a foundation year, which enables you to acquire a basic knowledge before proceeding to Level 1. It also offers applicants with non-scientific A levels the chance to convert from arts to science. The foundation year comprises 80 credit points in physics, including lecture courses in optics and wave motion, electricity, mechanics, thermal and atomic physics, and laboratory techniques, plus a further 40 credit points in mathematics.
