Stay tuned as Dr Michael Sutherland, Senior Tutor at Trinity Hall, explores what the Natural Sciences course at Cambridge offers to students curious about Physics.Learn more about Dr Sutherland and he's research in the link below: https://www.phy.cam.ac.uk/profile/dr/Check out other podcast on the Natural Sciences - Studying Chemistry at Cambridge - link is below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2OWbCb1xy0Check out another podcast on the Natural Sciences - Studying Biology at Cambridge - link is below:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47gn6oZaJXAA list of topic discussions can be found below too:00:00 Introductions00:15 If I want to study Physics at Cambridge, how do I go about that?01:45 Are Biological Natural Sciences and Physical Natural Sciences two different courses?02:50 Support from academics when making module choices within Natural Sciences03:30 What are the entry requirements for Physical Natural Sciences?04:20 What set of A levels would make for a strong application?05:20 Are there any advantages to having four A levels instead of three?07:10 Is there an admissions test for Physical Natural Sciences? If so, can you tell us what kind of questions are on it?08:50 Are there past papers for the admissions test? What’s the best way to prepare for them?10:10 In the first year, there are several physics-related subjects — Physics, Materials Science, and Earth Sciences. For anyone who doesn’t know — what are Materials Science and Earth Sciences?13:50 For the second-year modules, what’s the difference between Physics A and Physics B?16:15 Course structure for Natural Sciences18:45 What are the benefits of studying Natural Sciences compared to studying straight Physics elsewhere?21:00 Overlap between Biology and Physics22:10 Have you seen many students who start off studying Physics but then end up doing something else?23:50 What’s the difference between Physics and Engineering? And do you have any advice for students deciding between the two?25:00 What’s the difference between Physics and Maths? And do you have any advice for students deciding between the two?27:45 Michael’s research interests
