    Note:
    - Not all modules are available in every academic year and/or semester
    - Individual modules may have requisites to satisfy to be eligible to select them

    For further details, see the module catalogue entry for each individual module above

    Further requirements

    Choose 120 credits in academic year

    PH4111 is chosen unless one of CS4098, CS4796, PY4699 is taken.

    Further credits may be taken from AS3000 - AS4999, PH3000 - PH4109, ID4001 or modules in other subjects with the approval of the Adviser of Studies.

    Accreditation

    All the BSc, MSci, and MPhys single and joint Honours degrees in which Physics or Astrophysics is in the title are accredited by the UK Institute of Physics.

    Study abroad

    In the case of students who spend part of the Honours programme on a recognised Study Abroad scheme, the Programme Requirements will be amended to take into account overseas courses which are approved by the relevant St Andrews School in the Learning Agreement (see www.st-andrews.ac.uk/students/study-abroad/academic ).
