King's College London

We will teach you through a combination of lectures and laboratory classes, tutorials and project work. Typically, one credit equates to 10 hours of work, e.g.150 hours work for a 15-credit module. These hours cover every aspect of the module, including independent study. 

At King’s, all students on a taught programme are allocated a personal tutor who will play a key role in helping you to get the most out of your studies, providing support and encouragement for your time at university.

Personal tutors provide you with the opportunity to periodically take stock of your learning, academic progress and general wellbeing as you progress through your studies, offering guidance on how to seek further support if you need it, and how to access the range of opportunities available to you as a King's student.

We will use a delivery method that will ensure students have a rich, exciting experience from the start. Face to face teaching will be complemented and supported with innovative technology so that students also experience elements of digital learning and assessment.

This course is primarily taught at the King’s College London Strand Campus. Our Department is located on the 7th floor with views over the Thames to the London Eye and Westminster. This central location gives you easy access to major libraries and many leading societies including the Institute of Physics, as well as the extensive cultural and social offerings of one of the world’s most vibrant and dynamic cities.

Courses are divided into modules. You will normally take modules totalling 480 credits.
