TR063 - Physical Sciences

Having successfully completed the Freshman years, of the Physical Sciences programme, you must now decide on the discipline in which you wish to specialise for your moderatorship. For some of you this will be an easy decision, as you have known from entry the subject you wish to study. For others the choice may be more difficult. However, it is important for all of you to be open-minded and reflect carefully on the broad range of topics presented in the Freshman Physical Sciences modules.

My strong advice to you is - follow your interests! You will excel in the areas of physics in which you are most interested. All of our Moderatorships have a great deal of common transferable skills that will serve you well whatever your career. As a trained physicist, with a degree accredited by the Institute of Physics, you will have little barriers as physicists move between subject areas all the time.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Students wishing to take Nanoscience must have taken Chemistry in their Junior Fresh & Senior Fresh year. Students should submit the online TR063 Physical Sciences Moderatorship Preference Form in the link below.
