Level one
Please note that the past papers for PHY101 and PHY102 for the years before 2010-11 correspond to the former Level 1 syllabus and course structure. Nevertheless, students may find them helpful but please be aware that the order of delivery of courses is now different and indeed the Relativity and some parts of the Quantum course (i.e. early ideas of Quantum Mechanics) were not taught before the academic year 2010-11.
