Tuition fees here in the UK will be \u00a39,000 per year and this must have some effect on the numbers, and the demographic of future physics students. However, a new study has found that university physics students are largely undeterred by the costs and are determined to pursue the subject. <\/p>\n

The report Gravitating towards physics: How will higher fees affect the choices of prospective physics students?<\/em> used secondary data, focus groups and a survey, involving more than 500 applicants, to assess the potential impact of higher fees.<\/p>\n

It was crucial to undertake this research because it is of national strategic importance that universities are able to continue producing a steady stream of physics graduates.<\/p>\n

While the report does throw up some concerns \u2013 particularly in relation to diversity \u2013 we\u2019re delighted to find physics in rude health.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
