Course summary

Join a University ranked in the UK top five for Physics research (THE analysis of REF 2021) with an excellent reputation for teaching and learning. Physics is a truly international venture. This course follows the structure of the MSci Physics (https://www.bristol.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/2024/physics/msci-physics/) degree, but with the third year spent in Europe so you can experience life as a physicist in a different culture. In line with our traditional curriculum, this course offers a comprehensive grounding in physics and mathematics, practical work in the laboratory, and computational physics. Alongside this, you will study a language in preparation for your placement at a European partner university where you will study units that parallel the third year of our Bristol degree programme. To find out more about studying abroad, visit Global Opportunities (https://www.bristol.ac.uk/global-opportunities/go-abroad/). In your final year, back in Bristol, you will undertake a major project or dissertation. This will require you to work in a research group with a member of staff. Our students' final-year projects address questions at the frontier of our research fields. The most successful have been published in scientific journals. Join our friendly department with a very active, award-winning student society. Here you will be encouraged to develop a broad range of skills, including problem-solving and communication. Our physics graduates have an excellent record of employment post-study. This is a testament to the value that employers place on these skills. Think Big bursaries (https://www.bristol.ac.uk/students/support/finances/scholarships/think-big-ug-science-bursaries/) of £3,000 are available to support first-year international undergraduate students in this subject area.
