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, as well as introducing you to the practical and computing skills essential for physics. In year two, you will develop a fundamental understanding of the principles of physics. This includes investigative work in the laboratory and further 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 also undertake a major project or dissertation. Project options include:
Join our friendly department with an active, award-winning student society. We provide physics-specific employability sessions and you will be supported 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 across a range of industries. 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.
