Program Description For students who've finished high school but don’t meet the entry requirements for university, a Foundation Certificate can help them gain entry to an undergraduate degree. After completing this pathway option students qualify for progression to the 1st year of an undergraduate degree at the University of York. A student’s course length is determined mainly by their English language level (UKVI IELTS score). Students on all course lengths take a set of common or similar modules to gain a solid base of skills for university. Students taking a course longer than 2 terms, will take additional modules designed to improve one or more of their English language level, academic skills, and basic knowledge of particular subjects. Master of Physics (Honours) - Physics With a Year Abroad Physics is the study of the fundamental forces of the Universe. It seeks to understand the nature of waves and particles, and the structure of matter. Students will study conditions from the freezing vacuum of space to the blistering-hot core of a neutron star. They'll investigate subjects like nanosystems, semiconductors, fusion plasmas, biophysics, and quantum computing. Students will develop advanced techniques for researching fundamental physics, scientific principles and methods. They'll learn key skills for analysing real-life problems, write scientific reports to industry standards, communicate complex concepts, and design and perform intricate experiments. Students will work with world-renowned physicists using sophisticated equipment to probe the nature of existence and push the boundaries of research. Facilities like the astrocampus and the York Plasma Institute give students unprecedented opportunities to observe and experiment, helping them develop skills essential for higher-level research. Gain unique global experiences spending a year at one of York's partner universities. Students can boost their confidence by immersing themselves in a different culture and gain valuable language skills for their CV.
