Course Modules

This maths and physics diploma has two stages, each comprising 120 credits.

Stage 1: You’ll choose one of two starts depending on your level of mathematical and scientific knowledge: the basic maths start enables you to build up skills, knowledge and confidence at a slower pace, the standard start allows you to build on your existing mathematics and science study. Read the Entry requirements to decide which start is right for you.

Stage 2: You’ll study a 60-credit core physics module and a 60-credit applied mathematics module.
