Further guidance on admission to the University, including other qualifications that we accept, frequently asked questions and information on applying, can be found on our general admissions webpages. Students will work as part of a team and will receive guidance on project management, planning and meetings. Preparing you for your next step and helping you achieve good employment prospects is important to us. By the end of the module, students will be familiar with the fundamental concepts of quantum processing, such as density matrices and the dynamics of quantum systems, and will be able to understand how these can be implemented in realistic devices. You'll apply your knowledge of physics and mathematics to tackle problems that have been identified by commercial or research organisations.

In this module, you'll study General Relativity and its main applications in astrophysics and cosmology, You'll learn how to derive the main exact and approximate solutions of Einstein's equations, and how to use the mathematical tools needed to do that.

The module will begin by studying electrostatics, describing forces and fields due to charge distributions using Coulomb's law and Gauss's law. Students will explore static fluids, ideal fluids and the Euler equation. The module explores the nuclear beta decay process and the Fermi and Gamow - Teller selection rules, and students are provided with a description of the beta decay rate and the electron energy spectrum in terms of a nuclear matrix element and a statistical factor. International Baccalaureate 35 points overall with 16 points from the best 3 Higher Level subjects including 6 in Mathematics HL (either analysis and approaches or applications and interpretations) and Physics HL.

On this module you'll see how your knowledge and skills can be used in employment and learn how to work in a team, stick to budget and timeline, and report your work. You’ll study up to 6 modules a year.

The project involves a supervised, independent, extended investigation of a problem using theoretical, experimental, observational, computational or other techniques where needed. You are advised to revisit our website for up-to-date information before you submit your application. All rights reserved. Many of our projects are run with industrial input from companies such as DSTL, BAE Systems and Queen Alexandra Hospital.

The module introduces students to energy demand in the past, present and future, looking at energy use by sector and country. You'll probably do more independent study and have less scheduled teaching in years 2 and 3, but this depends on which modules you choose.
