Our fast-track programme provides you with a specialist foundation degree in just two years, as well as covering key educational topics such as curriculum, learning, teaching and what inspires young people to grow and flourish. With a focus on Physics as a subject specialism, you’ll work with academics in our Faculty of Science and Engineering to develop your understanding of physics concepts, with time spent on placement to further your hands-on experience.
