Physics with International Experience (MSci)

Join a University ranked in the UK top five for Physics research (THEanalysis of REF 2021) with an excellent reputation for teaching and learning. Combine in-depth training as a physicist with the experience of living overseas, this course follows the structure of theMSci Physicsdegree, 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. 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. MSci courses allow you to study advanced research-led material in your final year, developing originality in your application of knowledge and development of advanced techniques to solve problems. Join our friendly department with an 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. Our graduates have an excellent record of employment across a range of industries. This is a testament to the value that employers place on these skills. Think Big bursariesof £3,000 are available to support first-year international undergraduate students in this subject area.
