Changes for Open University physics degrees

The BSc (Hons) Natural Sciences degree offered by the Open University is now accepted by the IOP for meeting the academic requirements for chartered status, as long as S382 Astrophysics is chosen at level 3.

Questions in science (S111)		Essential Mathematics 1 (MST124)	Level 1 option
Physics: From classical to quantum (S217)		Mathematical methods (MST224)	Practical science: physics and astronomy (SXPA288)
Electromagnetism (SMT359)	The quantum world (SM358)	Level 3 option	Science project course: radiation and matter (SXP390)

Level 1 option
Essential mathematics 2 (MST125)
Introducing statistics (M140)
Technologies in practice (TM129)

Level 3 option
Astrophysics (S382)
The relativistic universe (S383)
Deterministic and stochastic dynamics (MS327)
Mathematical methods and fluid mechanics (MST326)
