The data displayed is from students on this and other courses in Physical sciences.

There was not enough data to publish information specifically for this course. This may be because the course size is too small or not enough students responded to the survey. This does not reflect on the quality of the course.

Student Satisfaction

The Student satisfaction score is not available for courses in England because the question is not included in the survey for England.
