Online Physics Course: 2 Month Short Course UK

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers around the search for a short online Physics course in the UK, specifically a 2-month program suitable for someone who has completed AS levels. A participant suggests an online course from the USA that aligns with A level standards, although transferring credits may pose challenges. The Open University is recommended as a potential resource, but it is concluded that self-study from textbooks may be a viable alternative to enhance university applications.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of AS level Physics concepts
  • Familiarity with online learning platforms
  • Knowledge of the UK education system and university application processes
  • Basic research skills to explore course offerings
NEXT STEPS
  • Research online Physics courses offered by the Open University
  • Explore accredited online courses from US institutions
  • Investigate self-study resources and textbooks for A level Physics
  • Learn about effective personal statement writing for university applications
USEFUL FOR

Students in the UK seeking to enhance their Physics knowledge and improve their university applications, particularly those who have completed AS levels and are looking for short-term online learning options.

Hey,

Well the summer is coming up, and as usual I do not have a lot planned really, other than a few days in Switzerland, and my sporting commitments. I am located in the UK, and I am looking for a short course that can be done online in Physics (I would have completed my AS levels). I do not know if one actually exists, but it would need to be like a 2 month course. I've looked around, but with no success, there may be a possibility that some of you may have done one. It would be a nice thing to put on my University Application! If there is such a thing, I wonder if I could focus on certain parts of Physics.

Cheers _Mayday_

I will teach on online physics course from the USA this summer which is roughly the equivalent of A level or slightly higher.

Since you are in the UK system, it might be a hassle transferring credit, though. You should also check the Open University to see what they offer.

I don't think such a thing exists, Mayday. Perhaps instead you could self study something from a textbook over the summer. This would look good on your university application form (you could give a brief summary of what you've self studied on your personal statement, etc..)
