Examines various issues related to the establishment of a core of physics studies at 16+ and 18+. Indicates that a core physics syllabus should be concerned with phenomena, theory, models, and applications and not with such topics as the use of a U tube manometer. (JN)

Presented is the second of a two-part article describing the introductory undergraduate physics course taught at the University of Liverpool, England. This part of the article concentrates upon the laboratory aspect of the course. (SL)

Lists physics courses at universities and colleges of technology in Scotland. Includes honors degree courses, course structure, special entry requirements (if any), special notes, and name of contact person. (SK)

Presents a core syllabus for A-level physics. Includes the rationale and nature of the core as well as brief comments on major sections of the syllabus. (SK)

Describes and outlines medical-physics courses that are taken in parallel with physics courses and designed for the medical physicist. (GA)

Describes a course in applied physics with solid state electronics, aimed at providing a continuing broad background in general physics while allowing for the gradual development of an emphasis on applications, engineering expertise, and relevant industrial experience. (Author/GA)

This article reports the status of an undergraduate course in introductory physics at the University of Ulster and its success over the past 11 years. The original plan, problems, changes, and an assessment of the course are discussed. Lists 11 references. (YP)

Describes the applied science course at Kingston Polytechnic, its requirements, the background of students enrolled in it, and the breadth of its offerings. (GA)

Describes the physical science courses at Lanchester Polytechnic. These courses are broad-based and offerings cover a wide range of options and use a variety of teaching-learning methods. (GA)

Describes a flexible course structure in physics that allows the transfer of students between different programs, up to the end of second year of study. (GA)

Describes three different courses in physics at three different institutions Physics and electronics for four years heading to a joint-honors degree, physics of the senses as an optional unit for one year, and a course system to allow flexibility in timetable and freedom of choice. (GA)

Descriptions of undergraduate physics programs are given: physics with geophysics physics with solid state electronics, physics with medical physics, and honors physics. (MDR)

A discussion of the course work in and the various major options of the undergraduate physics program at the University of Warwick is given. (MDR)
