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.
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.
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 third and fourth years means that you can specialise in the topics that you find most fascinating.
In your final year, you will undertake a major project, working within a research group under the supervision of one of our academics. Our students' final year projects address questions at the frontier of our research fields. The most successful have been published in scientific journals.
