2.1 Hons (or non-UK equivalent) in Physics, Electronic and Electrical Engineering, with modules in each of Electromagnetic Theory and Physics of Solids and Thermodynamics at an average grade of pass. We may also accept degrees in Computer, Biological or Medical Sciences with a 2.1 Hons (or non-UK equivalent). For degrees in Physics, Electronic and Electrical Engineering, a 2.2 Hons degree or equivalent may be considered if accompanied by substantial relevant experience, evaluated on a case by case basis. You are required to complete and submit a question-based personal statement explaining why you want to undertake this programme at Glasgow. Physics & Astronomy Personal Statement Form Prerequisite experience needed: Assumed knowledge for the core courses in this degree include: Basic mathematics for physics, single and multi-variable calculus (differentiation and integration), trigonometry, complex numbers, vectors, vector calculus, Taylor and Fourier series, Fourier transforms. Introductory scientific computing: data handling, simple statistics (computing means and variances), plotting functions and histograms, writing simple programs in a general-purpose programming language e.g. Python or C++. You must also have the following: Familiarity with basic optics, including geometric-optics modelling (thin lenses, image formation, refraction, diffraction, interference, and optical resolution. Awareness of the electromagnetic spectrum, the nature and propagation of light, Maxwell’s equations, potentials and fields, and EM potentials in simple geometries. An awareness of basic concepts in signals and systems, sampling and signal processing, including conversions between time- and frequency domains, use of high-, low-, and band-pass filters, and the Nyquist sampling criterion. A basic understanding of electronic circuits and components (e.g., amplifiers, filters, transistors). Some experience in the simulation and measurement of electrical/electronic systems is desirable.
