Science with an Integrated Foundation Year (SYLLABUS)

I'm also starting this course in September! Would love to know the module breakdown if anyone has it. I've got a vague idea about the 'superunits' from what I've managed to dig up on TSR, but not much else

This is the Chemistry syllabus for Foundation Year:
Maths OB2/OC2 - Functions, Differentiation, Integration, Series
Maths ON1 - Logic, Sets, Polynomials
Physics: Matter - Dimensional Analysis, Energy, Thermodynamics, Ideal Gases, Deformation of Solids
Chemistry 1 - Atomic Structure, Bonding and Molecular Shape, The Periodic Table, Isotopes and Radioactivity, Solid State Chemistry, Quantity Calculus, Electromagnetic Spectrum, Gas Laws and Kinetic Theory of Gases, Phase Diagrams
Chemistry 2 - Kinetics, Thermodynamics, Hybridsation, Hydrocarbons, Basic Organic Nomenclature, Isomerism, Aromaticity, Inductive Effect and Resonance, Basic Functional Groups
Chemistry 3 - Advanced Organic Nomenclature, Electrophilic Substitution, Electrochemistry, Polymers
Maths OB2/OC2 - Complex Numbers, Geometry, Matrices, Further Integration, Further Differentiation
Maths OF2 - Vectors, Probability, Random Variables, Standard Distributions
Physics: Waves - Simple Harmonic Oscillation, Travelling Waves, Standing Waves and Harmonics, Electromagnetic Radiation, Spectra, Wave-Particle Duality, Radioactivity, Nuclear Reactions, E=mc2

Ah, nice one, I haven't seen this yet!

And either physics or chemistry, how about you?

Hello everyone. I will start the Science with and integrated FY in september, so I would like to know if someone has already completed this course, is it too difficult? Does someone know the pass mark to proceed to Environmental Science? And the most important, what are the subjects taken?

If you take the Physics route, instead of the three Chemistry units you would take an extra two Physics modules (covering electricity and magnetism and 'further' Physics) and a Mechanics module (similar to M1/M2 at A-Level).

The pass requirement for Environmental Science this year is 50% in each Super Unit. The subjects you take will be the same as the Chemistry syllabus you quoted above except you get to choose between either the 'Matter and Energy' Physics module or the 'Electricity and Magnetism' Physics module.
