About this course
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. Flexibility and choice are key features of a Bristol Physics degree.
In your final year, you will undertake a major project, working within a research group under the supervision of one of our academics.
