Our Minimum Entry Requirements are applicable to those applicants who have not had an equal opportunity to demonstrate their academic ability at school or college and are known as ‘widening access’ applicants. We also sometimes refer to this type of applicant as receiving a ‘contextual’ offer. We may be able to provide you with a contextual offer if you fall into one of the categories below:
You have been in care (care-experienced/care-leaver)
You are a young carer
government-recognizedecognised asylum or refugee status
You are estranged from your family or guardians
You live in a SIMD decile 1-4 (SIMD20/40)* Scottish postcode area
20 hours per week.
Five core modules include physics and mathematics. One optional module can be chosen from a range of science, engineering or computing-related modules. The physics modules are taught at the level of the Scottish Advanced Higher syllabus.
Aspects of atomic physics and thermodynamics are also taught.
You will branch out to other areas including electronics, vibrations and waves, and mathematical modelling. Practical and professional skills are also developed.
Core modules in physics are taught alongside the nuclear-technology content. The core physics modules include quantum mechanics and electromagnetism which are prerequisites for a deep understanding of nuclear physics.
The nuclear content includes imaging and nuclear medicine and an optional module can be taken to tailor the programme to your interests.
The majority of the modules will be devoted to nuclear technology, including nuclear and particle physics, research topics in nuclear physics, and applications of nuclear physics.
The modules are taught in parallel to a two trimester extended project which you will carry out within the Nuclear Physics Research Group.
IELTS 6.0 with no skill below 5.5.
