Course summary
What this course is about
UCAS code: F304
Here's what University of Bristol says about its Physics with Study Abroad in a Modern Language course.
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 degree, but with the third year spent in Europe where 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 the Centre for Study Abroad: bristol.ac.uk/centre-for-study-abroad
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.
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.
Think Big bursaries of £3,000 are available to support first-year international undergraduate students in this subject area.

As a disabled student I felt so at peace with my condition being treated so well and I have never felt left out. I cannot give information about the financial support I have received but if I didn’t get the help I got I wouldn’t have been able to study here.

At first I was extremely surprised about the affordable price of the accommodation and it definitely deserves every single last pound. The pictures from the sites are accurate and the community is united and friendly.

I have always wanted to challenge myself as much as possible and all throughout high school I’ve been impatient to finally start studying Biology. I love working in the lab and doing hours of reading and I never have trouble with asking my lecturers for help.

University of Bristol open days
Are you thinking of applying to this university?
Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.
Universities will list upcoming open days on their websites. Most will also have virtual open days; these are a great alternative if you really can't get there in person. For tips on preparing for open days, check the advice section here on The Uni Guide.
