The Physics with an Integrated Foundation Year program enrolls you as an undergraduate student at The University of Manchester. All instruction is delivered by the University's own academic staff on campus. By meeting the specified progression requirements for your selected degree, successfully completing the Integrated Foundation Year ensures your admission into the first year of your chosen degree program.
During the Foundation Year, you'll engage with mathematics and physics coursework. You'll also undertake Academic Skills and ICT (Information and Communications Technology) modules. A key component includes completing a group project aligned with your prospective degree, guided by an academic from your target department.
Program highlights
Diverse student body representing various educational and cultural backgrounds.
Comprehensive academic guidance and personal support systems.

Qualification Requirements
A-level
Students are accepted from a wide range of educational backgrounds and all applications are considered on their individual merits. Decisions are based on the application as a whole - including the qualifications, the personal statement, and the referee's comments. The following must therefore be viewed only as general guide.
Our entry requirements vary depending on the subjects being taken at A-level. Typically, we would be looking for:
BBB, where a student has three relevant subjects
ABB, where a student has two relevant subjects
AAB, where a student has one relevant subject
The subjects considered to be relevant are Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Statistics, and Computer Science.
If you are unsure whether you would be considered with your qualifications/predictions, we would encourage you to contact us before making an application.
In all cases we only offer places to applicants if we are convinced that they have the academic potential and the high level of motivation that is needed to be successful on the Integrated Foundation Year and on their chosen degree programme. To help us make our decision, applicants may be asked to attend an Academic Assessment.
GCSE
Applicants must demonstrate a broad general education, typically a minimum of five GCSEs/iGCSEs, including acceptable levels of literacy and numeracy, equivalent to at least grade 4/C in GCSE/iGCSE English Language and grade 6/B in GCSE/iGCSE Mathematics, if not taken at A-level.
GCSE/iGCSE English Literature will not be accepted in lieu of GCSE/iGCSE English Language.
GCSE/iGCSE grade 6/B in one of Physics, Chemistry or Combined Science is also required, if not taken at A-level.
International Baccalaureate
33 points overall, with 6,5,5 at Higher Level, including one of Mathematics (either Analysis and Approaches or Applications and Interpretation are acceptable) or Physics.
If Mathematics is not studied at Higher Level, then we would require Standard Level Mathematics (either Analysis and Approaches or Applications and Interpretation are acceptable) with Grade 6 or higher.
IELTS score of 6.0 overall with no less than 5.5 , TOEFL iBT - 80
