SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the undergraduate Physics syllabus from the University of Mauritius, specifically outlined in the provided PDF link. Participants note that the program requires A-Level passes in Maths and Physics, but it predominantly admits high-achieving students, often those with straight A's. Comparisons to other undergraduate programs reveal that the syllabus appears standard, aligning closely with typical offerings in the field. The mention of a maximum of 50 credits, including retake modules, suggests a structured approach to course load, likely influenced by the free university education policy in Mauritius.

Link above; on the last pages of the file, is the syllabus outline for the undergrad program. How does it stack up compared to other undergrad programs you've had experience with or have read about?

I realize they do ask for "passes" at A-Level Maths and Physics but they almost exclusively accept straight-A students, or so I've been told. I have a friend who got into Civil Eng with AAB (and that's before the introduction of the A* grade) and it might have been because he was ranked nationally for his performance in DT.

Yeah, thoughts?

Looks normal.
 
It looks like basically every other undergrad physics program.
 
Excellent. Looks like somebody's saving his monies and staying home for another three years. : D
 
Maximum (including retake modules): 50 credits

Why the maximum?

Why the maximum?
I'm guessing it's because university education is free there.
