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.<br/><br/>Physics is a truly international venture. This course follows the structure of the MSci Physics degree, but with the third year spent in Europe where you can experience life as a physicist in a different culture.<br/><br/>In line with our traditional curriculum, this course offers a comprehensive grounding in physics and mathematics, practical work in the laboratory, and computational physics.<br/><br/>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 the Centre for Study Abroad: bristol.ac.uk/centre-for-study-abroad<br/><br/>In your final year back in Bristol, you will undertake a major project, working in a research group with a staff member. Our students final-year projects address questions at the frontier of our research fields. The most successful have been published in scientific journals.<br/><br/>Join our friendly department with a very active, award-winning student society. We support you to develop a broad range of experimental, theoretical and analytical skills, as well as to develop your understanding of how to apply your skills more widely. These are vital for a career in research or industry.<br/><br/>Think Big bursaries of £3,000 are available to support first-year international undergraduate students in this subject area.
