Physics

The Graduate Diploma is designed for graduates whose first degree may be inappropriate for direct entry to an MSc in Physics at a UK university. Though it may be taken as a free-standing qualification, most students take this programme as a pathway to the MSc. This pathway forms the first year of a two-year programme with successful students (gaining a merit or distinction) progressing onto the MSc Physics in second year.

• Provides students with a broad and critical understanding of core theories and research from a variety of different perspectives, within the field of Physics.
• Allows student to develop key skills in the critical reading, interpretation and analysis of the scientific literature.
• A transistional programme providing students with a clear route into the MSc programme in physics for those not qualified for direct entry.
