Our course caters for a wide range of participants. Some students are single, some married, some have families - some with very young children. Some may have graduated many years ago, or recently but without enough Physics or suitable science in their degree. Some will live locally, others will commute daily to Sussex. Some will continue at Sussex for their PGCE, others will go on to study their PGCE elsewhere or take a place on a GTP or SCITT programme. As with our Chemistry course, Enhanced Physics attracts a wide age range of students from an equally wide range of backgrounds and experiences. But common to all is an enthusiasm for teaching Physics and for enhancing their knowledge of the subject.
