OU Physics, Astronomy/Space

The Open University offer a named BSc(Hons) Physics degree, qualification code R51.

Level 3 Option

In addition, there is a basic maths start programme available which avoids S111.


The 'advanced start' programme also avoids S111. For those interested in astronomy, it would look like this.

The Open University also offers a Master of Physics (MPhys) degree, code M06. This is the standard start physics pathway. 

Level 3 Option
S384 Astrophysics of Stars and Exoplanets
S385 Cosmology and the Distant Universe
MS327 Deterministic and Stochastic Dynamics
MST326 Mathematical Methods and Fluid Mechanics
MST374 Computational Applied Mathematics

The Diploma of Higher Education in Physics is the same as the first two years of the BSc degree, and as such also has a standard start, a maths start, and an advanced start. Only the standard start includes S111, so it's easy to avoid. For those interested in astronomy, the advanced start would look like this.

 


This is the Astronomy & Planetary Science pathway of the Q64 BSc (Hons) Natural Sciences degree offered by the Open University.

Level 3 Option


The MPhys degree also has a Space Science/Astrophysics pathway. The 'advanced start' has quite a lot of astronomy in it.

The S10 Certificate in Astronomy and Planetary Science consists of S283 Planetary Science and the Search for Life and S284 Astronomy and can be obtained as an intermediate qualification on a degree level pathway.

The OU also offers a MSc in Space Science and Technology (Qualification code F77)


The modules at stage 1 and stage 3 are compulsory, but there is a lot of choice at stage 2, including selecting up to one undergraduate module.

Group 1 option modules

Group 2 option modules
 
Note: Only one undergraduate module marked [UG] may be chosen. Modules marked [ER] have entry requirements.
