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 (https://www.bristol.ac.uk/centre-for-study-abroad/outbound/).
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.
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 bursaries (https://www.bristol.ac.uk/students/support/finances/scholarships/think-big-undergraduate/) of £3,000 are available to support first-year international undergraduate students in this subject area.

Variety of different societies offered. Lots of polls etc. sent out so seemed to have an interest in student voices. Subsidised food :)

Excellent night life + gay scene. Also lots of excellent art events (markets, little arthouse cinemas, museums) if you're so inclined. Not crazy-busy, for a city.

Low-income, and so was offered a lot of additional assistance. Still, Bristol is quite an expensive place to live, so do be wary.

Welfare services were fantastic with me, fast-tracked my transfer to Student Health Services and got me a same-day appointment. Tutors and lecturers have also, as mentioned, been very supportive and down-to-earth, even in their criticisms.

Facilities are beautiful, usually very clean. Physics and philosophy buildings have lovely little gardens. Will's Memorial library is gorgeous and makes a very, very cosy study space. Incredibly easy to reserve, borrow, & auto-renew books through the library system. Some 24-hour libraries too, which...

Decently-structured timetable: not too overwhelming, but enough things on each day to justify commuting. Had enough time to get to each location. Feedback was generally very good---better on the maths side I would say, however my first philosophy essay received some incredibly thorough feedback. Lec...

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.
