项目概述 / Program Summary

This four-year Physics (International Study) MSci degree programme provides a thorough training in physics, together with the opportunity to study at a university in another European country, or further afield such as Australia, Canada and Japan.

On the Physics (International Study) MSci course, a greater emphasis during the year abroad is placed on physics as opposed to the BSc version of this degree. The combination of skills students acquire in physics and mathematics with fluency in a foreign language is attractive to potential employers.

To undertake an exchange to a non-English speaking university, MSci Students must hold an A Level (grade B or above) in an appropriate language. Students are required to continue with language lessons during the first two years of their studies at the University of Birmingham.

A large part of the time in the fourth year in this Physics MSci degree course will be devoted to an independent research project where students have the opportunity to work alongside the University of Birmingham's world-leading research groups. There are many other opportunities to undertake project work during the degree, for example as part of their lab work in the first two years. A project develops a wide range of skills including planning and report writing. Group studies in the final year is a major project which is undertaken in groups of 10-20 students. The task requires the group to work as a team and enables students to solve a problem of much greater magnitude than could be attempted by an individual. The team work skills learnt here are invaluable in success in a future career.

Students will be taught by academics who are global experts in their field, students will gain a broad understanding of the essential concepts of physics, ranging from entropy to quantum mechanics and beyond. The transferable skills students will also learn will make them very employable; including problem solving, computing and giving presentations.
