Physics with International Experience University of Bristol

Overview

Combine in-depth training as a physicist with the experience of living overseas, this course follows the structure of the MSci Physics degree, but you will spend your third year at a partner university, either studying or working as a researcher. The programme will be agreed with a tutor at Bristol and the working language will be English.

Key Features

During your time abroad, you will spend most of your time taking advantage of opportunities available locally. This may mean carrying out a full-time research project as part of a research team at your host university. Previous students have studied astrophysics in Canada, nanophysics in Brazil, and particle physics in the US.

You can also take taught courses through Bristol's Global Opportunities programme. This means that you will continue to study core physics via distance learning, in readiness for returning to Bristol for your final year.

In your final year, 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.

Graduates of the Physics with International Experience programme from University of Bristol have an excellent record of employment across a range of industries. This is a testament to the value that employers place on these skills.
