Distance Learning MPhys or MSc options

Hey everyone,

I’m currently in my final year of the BSc (Hons) Physics degree with the OU and starting to think about my next steps. I’m looking into MPhys options and was wondering—are there any distance learning MPhys programs out there besides the one offered by the OU?

As I’m based in Europe, the distance learning component is essential. That said, I’ve found the OU’s current approach to remote exams a bit unreliable. They’ve been trialling various options like remote invigilation and post-exam interviews, but I’m not fully confident in the system. Honestly, I’d even welcome a return to in-person exams if it meant more stability.

If anyone has recommendations or experiences with alternative programs, I’d really appreciate hearing them!

Thanks in advance!
