Online Physics Degrees

[Joshua15]

Hi all,

 

I work full-time, so I am looking for a British online BSc physics degree. Any help would be much appreciated.

There maybe others, but the only such thing I know of is the Open University.

How does the OU stand up against bricks and mortar universities in terms of curriculum?

Might also be worth checking out the Institute of Physics website. They do accredit OU degrees, but apparently not the the maths and physics degree linked above. It seems you'd have to pick an open degree and take all the modules the Institute of Physics stipulate to gain accreditation.

You can see the details here: http://www.iop.org/education/higher_education/accreditation/file_51839.pdf

 

I've just started down this path myself; the only thing i worry about is that the content is not as thorough as traditional universities.

Same here. Anyway, thank you for your replies, and good luck for the future!
