Overview

You'll begin with the first two years of the standard BSc route, where you'll get to explore a wide range of subjects, including astrophysics, quantum physics, geophysics, fluid mechanics and computing. Following that, you'll move abroad to your international year, learning Physics at a Higher Education institution overseas and getting a deeper knowledge of the subject and the new skills and experiences that come from international study. Finally, you'll return to UEA for the final year of your degree.

University of East Anglia 's Physics with a Year Abroad (Hons) four-year degree programme introduces you to many of the major themes in physics in your first year, before providing more advanced teaching in the subsequent years, when you can specialise in a particular field. Your course will end in a final year project, giving you the chance to research a topic that interests you most. It could be in line with the research taking place at UEA or an idea you have in mind.â€¯

You’ll use our top-class laboratories and high-tech equipment. Through experiments, you’ll gain a practical understanding of the subjects, and you’ll find them even more fascinating.

By the time you graduate, you’ll have skills that are much in demand by employers. You'll excel in analytical problem-solving, data analysis, and solid research techniques. You’ll be ready to set foot on a career as a professional scientist or work in finance, high-tech start-up companies, or science-based industries.
