Former students commented:

- "The course covered a wide range of physics topics from key stage 3, 4 and 5 which has vastly improved my knowledge as well as my confidence in learning/teaching physics."

-"As well as class work there were science/industrial visits, school placement week, as well as a lecture from the IOP on key stage 4 physics and an insight to the latest physics topics, which just rounded off the first-class standards and diversity, preparing myself for the PGCE next year."

-"Students came from diverse backgrounds with mixed ability group (not just physics graduates)."
