Satisfactory performance in both sets of examinations is required. The examinations at the end of each teaching block will cover the material taught in that teaching block alone. (Specifically the June examinations will not examine course work from the first teaching block.) Based upon satisfactory performance in the examinations students proceed to Level 2. Second Year Again the academic year requires 120 credits - 60 credits in the first teaching block and 60 in the second. There are 60 credits of computer science and 60 credits of physics: PH-203 Statistical Physics https://intranet.swan.ac.uk/catalogue/default.asp?type=moddetail&dept=PHYS&mod=PH-203&ayr=thisYear&psl=TB1&detailOnly= PH-205 Quantum Mechanics I https://intranet.swan.ac.uk/catalogue/default.asp?type=moddetail&dept=PHYS&mod=PH-205&ayr=thisYear&psl=TB1&detailOnly= PH-206 Mathematical Methods in Physics I https://intranet.swan.ac.uk/catalogue/default.asp?type=moddetail&dept=PHYS&mod=PH-206&ayr=thisYear&psl=TB1&detailOnly= PH-210 Laboratory Physics and Group Projects B https://intranet.swan.ac.uk/catalogue/default.asp?type=moddetail&dept=PHYS&mod=PH-210&ayr=thisYear&psl=TB1%2B2&detailOnly= PH-227 Mathematical Methods in Physics II https://intranet.swan.ac.uk/catalogue/default.asp?type=moddetail&dept=PHYS&mod=PH-227&ayr=thisYear&psl=TB2&detailOnly= PH-229 Particle Physics I https://intranet.swan.ac.uk/catalogue/default.asp?type=moddetail&dept=PHYS&mod=PH-229&ayr=thisYear&psl=TB2&detailOnly= Examinations take place at the end of the first teaching block in early January and at the end of the second teaching block in June. Satisfactory performance in both sets of examinations is required. The examinations at the end of each teaching block will cover the material taught in that teaching block alone. (Specifically the June examinations will not examine course work from the first teaching block.) Third Year The third year of study is the final year of study for students taking the B.Sc. Physics and Computer Science degree. 50 credit points are compulsory in Physics and 30 in Computer Science. A project worth 20 credit points in either discipline must be taken. The Compulsory modules are: PH-207 Condensed Matter Physics I https://intranet.swan.ac.uk/catalogue/default.asp?type=moddetail&dept=PHYS&mod=PH-207&ayr=thisYear&psl=TB2&detailOnly= PH-221 Electromagnetism and Special Relativity I https://intranet.swan.ac.uk/catalogue/default.asp?type=moddetail&dept=PHYS&mod=PH-221&ayr=thisYear&psl=TB1&detailOnly= PH-222 Electromagnetism II https://intranet.swan.ac.uk/catalogue/default.asp?type=moddetail&dept=PHYS&mod=PH-222&ayr=thisYear&psl=TB2&detailOnly= The remaining 20 credits are chosen from a selection of Computer Science modules together with the following Physics modules: PH-302 Quantum Mechanics II https://intranet.swan.ac.uk/catalogue/default.asp?type=moddetail&dept=PHYS&mod=PH-302&ayr=thisYear&psl=TB1&detailOnly= PH-306 Atomic Physics I https://intranet.swan.ac.uk/catalogue/default.asp?type=moddetail&dept=PHYS&mod=PH-306&ayr=thisYear&psl=TB1&detailOnly= PH-307 Condensed Matter Physics II https://intranet.swan.ac.uk/catalogue/default.asp?type=moddetail&dept=PHYS&mod=PH-307&ayr=thisYear&psl=TB1&detailOnly= PH-311 Project (20 credit points) https://intranet.swan.ac.uk/catalogue/default.asp?type=moddetail&dept=PHYS&mod=PH-311&ayr=thisYear&psl=TB2&detailOnly= PH-320 Foundations of Astrophysics https://intranet.swan.ac.uk/catalogue/default.asp?type=moddetail&dept=PHYS&mod=PH-320&ayr=thisYear&psl=TB2&detailOnly= PH-321 Gravitational Physics https://intranet.swan.ac.uk/catalogue/default.asp?type=moddetail&dept=PHYS&mod=PH-321&ayr=thisYear&psl=TB1&detailOnly= PH-322 Cosmology https://intranet.swan.ac.uk/catalogue/default.asp?type=moddetail&dept=PHYS&mod=PH-322&ayr=thisYear&psl=TB2&detailOnly= PH-333 Atomic Physics and Quantum Optics II https://intranet.swan.ac.uk/catalogue/default.asp?type=moddetail&dept=PHYS&mod=PH-333&ayr=thisYear&psl=TB2&detailOnly= PH-335 Particle Physics II https://intranet.swan.ac.uk/catalogue/default.asp?type=moddetail&dept=PHYS&mod=PH-335&ayr=thisYear&psl=TB2&detailOnly= PH-360 Nanotechnology https://intranet.swan.ac.uk/catalogue/default.asp?type=moddetail&dept=PHYS&mod=PH-360&ayr=thisYear&psl=TB2&detailOnly= Level 3 students are examined at the end of the 1st and 2nd teaching block on those modules studied during that block. After the June examinations, the students' final mark will be determined using a banded average of the module marks obtained during Level 2 and Level 3. After graduating the world is their oyster!
