Dr
Graham S McDonald
Lecturer,
Joule Physics Lab, University of Salford
The University of Salford offers a variety of degree
programmes in physics: either as a stand-alone subject, or physics coupled with
a set of specialist options reflecting individual interests. Options include Space
Technology, Aviation Studies and Acoustics. Students study for
three years for a Batchelor of Science with Honours degree, or for four years
for an advanced Master of Physics degree. Programmes are also offered that
enable students to study for a year at an American or European University. A
highly successful Foundation Year permits widening access to physics,
while a pioneering Pure and Applied Physics degree enables direct entry
to Level One (without restricting final choice of course) for students that have
not attained a full A-Level in mathematics.
Dr McDonald has considerable experience of teaching
mathematics to physics students, through delivery of all core mathematics
courses at Levels One and Two and additional classes in support of the Pure
and Applied Physics degree. A wide range of resources has been developed
that has allowed Salford students to achieve averages approaching 70% in all
mathematics courses. A number of these resources are being delivered as PPLATO
support materials.
