The Institute of Physics have hammered it out with the OU and agreed to accredit a new degree composition which meets the academic requirements for Chartered Physicist status (CPhys). This new scheme is valid from January 2012 to December 2019.
It requires :
S207 The Physical World
MST209 Mathematical Models and Methods
S382 Astrophysics
SM358 The Quantum World
SMT359 Electromagnetism
Plus one of:
SXP390 Radiation and Matter
SXG390 Geosciences
SXN390 Science in Society
T450 The Engineering Project
Plus either S288 Practical Science or two of:
SXR103 Practicing Science
S155 Scientific Investigations
TXR120 Engineering: An Active Introduction
SXR207 Physics by Experiment
SXR208 Observing the Universe
MSXR209 Mathematical Modelling
TXR220 Engineering in Action
SMXR358 Quantum Mechanics
SMXR359 Electromagnetism
at least one of which must be above Level 1.
The interesting part is the inclusion of S382 Astrophysics, and the choice of project modules now available. Another point worthy of note is the fact that's it's possible to avoid the wankfest which is SXP288. All in all, this is good news.
