Alongside your core modules, you can choose options to broaden your horizons and tailor your course to your interests. View the course page on our website to see examples of optional modules we offer.


Entry requirements

You should normally have a lower second-class (2.2) undergraduate honours degree. Your qualification should be in a physics-, mathematics- or astronomy-based subject. Other qualifications will be considered on an individual basis but you are generally expected to have a significant mathematical or physical background, including calculus, differential equations, mechanics, electrodynamics and quantum mechanics. You should normally have some experience of teaching at a higher education institution or have an interest in this area. You may also be considered for the course if you have experience of equivalent standing.
