Physical Sciences entry route leading to BSc (Hons) (4 year route including a Foundation Year at Carmel College)

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. 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.
