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 focuses on the fundamental building blocks and forces of nature. It explores how quantum physics and relativity help us to comprehend the world around us. Topics range from the infinitesimal scale of particle and nuclear physics to the cosmic scale of galaxies and the Universe.

Year one gives you a comprehensive grounding in physics and mathematics. In year two, you will develop a fundamental understanding of the principles of physics. This includes practical work in the laboratory and computational physics.

Flexibility and choice are key features of a Bristol Physics degree. A wide range of units in your final year means you can specialise in the topics that you find most fascinating.

In your third year, you will undertake a major project or dissertation. Project options include:
  • conducting original research as part of one of our research groups;
  • the Physics Education scheme centred on teaching in a school;
  • the Industrial Group Project, based on a real problem set by industrial partners. Past partners have included Sellafield, Bristol Zoo, Siemens and The Fat Duck restaurant.


Join our friendly department with a very active, award-winning student society. We provide physics-specific employability sessions and we support you to develop a broad range of transferable skills. These include problem-solving and the ability to communicate complicated concepts.

Our graduates have an excellent record of employment post-study. This is a testament to the value that employers place on these skills.

Think Big bursaries of £3,000 are available to support first-year international undergraduate students in this subject area.

Accreditations

Our Physics BSc is approved by major professional bodies in the UK (IOP) so as a graduate you can gain exemptions from a number of their examinations or credits for prior learning.
