The Gateway to Physics and Astronomy provides an alternative entry route, with built-in additional support, for Scottish students who meet some or all of the University's widening participation criteria.
In the Gateway entry year, you will study the same mathematics module and core physics modules as students on the traditional entry route, as well as some modules that are available only to those on the Gateway programme. The Gateway-specific modules aim to develop important academic skills within the context of astrophysics, physics, and mathematics study.
After successfully completing your first year, you will be able to progress from the Gateway programme to the second year of one of the degree programmes in physics and related subjects.
Teaching format
Physics and astronomy modules are taught through a combination of lectures, tutorials, workshops and laboratory work.
Assessment
Most modules are assessed by a mix of coursework and written examinations. Most modules give a higher weighting to written examinations, but some are assessed solely through coursework.
