OU Physics

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 Mathematics Methods and Fluid Mechanics
MST374 Computational Applied Mathematics

Level 4 Option
M820 Calculus of Variations and advanced calculus
M821 Nonlinear ordinary differential equations

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.
