MOST STUDENTS IN BRITAIN who intend to become professional physicists study for a Bachelor of Science degree with honors. The undergraduate physics school at Imperial College consists almost entirely of physics majors preparing for this degree of the University of London; they devote almost all of their time to physics and the necessary required mathematics. They are unlikely to take any humanities courses although some universities expect a modest performance in one or more foreign languages. In England and Wales the physics honors courses are spread over three years, but in Scotland they usually last four years.
