New Courses

New courses within the Faculty:

• Foundation Degree for Science Technicians
• i-science (Integrated Science)
  The Institute of Physics has launched an innovative new degree course, Integrated Sciences.
  In an increasingly technological age, the science skills required to tackle global challenges of climate change and energy shortages are becoming broader and more interdisciplinary.
  Integrated Sciences consists of a third physics, the rest of the curriculum reflects the expertise within the host institutions. The different versions of the degree will contain other related scientific disciplines such as chemistry as well as engineering and biology, but they will all provide students with a thorough grounding in the sciences.
  Integrated Sciences is being launched at four universities (Leicester, Surrey, London South Bank and University of East Anglia) this September for the 2008 intake, following successful pilots at Leicester.
