Hello,

I am interested in a physics degree and I was wondering if there is a good school for it online? Also, what kind of things should I study in order to prepare for it, and do they have book for it? I am currently finishing up my Bachelors in Psychology and I have been trying to work on my math skills in my free time.

I appreciate any advice!
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Google it Oxford University UK has such course.(but some months ago the web is not updated)
 
If you live in the UK, you could do it in the Open University I guess.
