If so, can you tell us what kind of questions are on it? 08:50 Are there past papers for the admissions test? What’s the best way to prepare for them? 10:10 In the first year, there are several physics-related subjects — Physics, Materials Science, and Earth Sciences. For anyone who doesn’t know — what are Materials Science and Earth Sciences? 13:50 For the second-year modules, what’s the difference between Physics A and Physics B? 16:15 Course structure for Natural Sciences 18:45 What are the benefits of studying Natural Sciences compared to studying straight Physics elsewhere? 21:00 Overlap between Biology and Physics 22:10 Have you seen many students who start off studying Physics but then end up doing something else? 23:50 What’s the difference between Physics and Engineering? And do you have any advice for students deciding between the two? 25:00 What’s the difference between Physics and Maths? And do you have any advice for students deciding between the two? 27:45 Michael’s research interests
