Physics and Astronomy (with a foundation year)
Bachelor's (4 years) at University of Sussex
**About the course** Interested in physics, theoretical physics or astrophysics but don’t meet the entry requirements for a degree? A Foundation Year can help you get on to the course you want. In the Department of Physics and Astronomy, you’ll be taught by the experts who are driving our research programmes. You’ll have full access to our facilities and equipment. You’ll be a part of our close community, including: - plenty of opportunities for one-to-one support - shared spaces for peer study support - socialising with other students across all years in the Physics Society. Once you’ve successfully completed your Foundation Year, you can choose from degrees in whichever branch of physics interests you the most – from astrophysics to theoretical physics. If you’re a high-achiever in your Foundation Year, you also have the option of joining one of our integrated Masters courses (MPhys). **Accreditation** After passing your Foundation Year you can transfer to any BSc degree in Physics or Astrophysics or - depending on your performance - any MPhys degree. All our BSc and MPhys degrees are accredited by the Institute of Physics. **Location** Study on our beautiful, green campus on the edge of the South Downs National Park and just minutes from the vibrant seaside city of Brighton & Hove. We’re near to Gatwick airport and just over an hour from London. *About the University of Sussex * Our courses, research, culture and campus aim to stimulate, excite and challenge. From scientific discovery to global policy, from student welfare to career development, Sussex innovates and takes a lead. And today, in every part of society and across the world, you'll find someone from Sussex making an original and valuable contribution. ..
