    Hi, my boyfriend has just finished and passed first year of this course! He didn't need/buy any books for this course and still got on well! Just attend your lectures and you will be fine

    Thank you for your reply, is he enjoying the course, did he find the maths and physics hard? Not my strongest subjects! Its all very daunting!
    Kind regards,
    Fiona.

    Ya he likes the course, maths is very doable as theres 40 per cent continous assesment which you can easily get the whole 40 per cent just go to tutorials and they show you how to do them, for physics its only one semester long so thats pretty ok too!

    This will freak you out but attached are some of the core texts for that course and the enterprise systems masters. You don't *need* any of them really but if books were a hobby... (there's no first year books here as first year is just for scraping by and settling in)

    Would agree about the book thing that you dont need any but would have to disagree that first year is just for scraping by.
    You have to put the work in if you want to get into 2nd year nobody wants to fail if they can help it

    Yeah I did the course.. badly. Wish we didn't have to do university courses in general but we do so here's what I thought.

    Physics in first year might be difficult if you haven't done it before but fine otherwise.
    I found second year very difficult... a lot of physical sciences, statistics, probability, engineering + tough marking on physiology. Law quite difficult in second and quite boring really!
    Third and fourth year not so bad. Very applied course, a Summer job in a heavy industry might make the whole thing seem more relevant / interesting.
