Physical Sciences Entry Route Leading To Bsc (hons) (4 Year Route Including A Foundation Year At Carmel College) in University of Liverpool

This programme offers a four-year route to the BSc (Hons) degree programmes offered by the Department of Physics.

You follow the Foundation Year at Carmel College, St Helens, about nine miles away from the main University campus. It offers small class sizes and high academic standards. You then opt to follow any of the Physics programmes.

Programme in detail

At Carmel College, you will take three foundation modules chosen from physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology or geography, depending on which degree route you want to follow. In your second year, you will attend the University of Liverpool and take the same modules as other students on your chosen programme from the following:

• Geophysics (Geology) BSc (Hons) (F640)
• Geophysics (Physics) BSc (Hons) (F656)
• Ocean Sciences (Physics Pathway) BSc (Hons) (F700)
• Physics BSc (Hons) (F300)
• Physics and Mathematics BSc (Joint Honours) (FG31)
• Physics with Astronomy BSc (Hons) (F3F5)
• Physics with Medical Applications BSc (Hons) (F350)
• Physics with Nuclear Science BSc (Hons) (F390)

Career prospects

Physicists are trained to solve a wide range of problems. That’s why graduates have gone on to explore careers in such diverse areas such as telecommunications; microelectronics; nuclear power and instrumentation; cryogenics; astronomy; geophysics medical physics; materials science; computing; teaching; business; finance and management. Physics graduates are currently among those earning the highest starting salaries in the UK, according to latest figures, and our graduates enjoy excellent opportunities for careers in research, industry, computing, teaching, business and finance.

Work experience opportunities

For those who are studying Physics on our master’s programme (F303) there will be opportunities to carry out summer work at an international research laboratory. This typically takes place during the summer break between your third and fourth year.

The results obtained during your summer project will be brought back to Liverpool for a project report with a member of staff as your adviser and may form the basis for a more detailed project in your fourth year. Laboratories with which we have a close research relationship include TRIUMF in Vancouver, CERN in Geneva, the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility in Grenoble and the Cockcroft Institute at the Daresbury Laboratory, Warrington.
