Explore the laws that underpin the entire universe and experience studying in another country with BSc Physics (International Study). From quantum interactions of sub-atomic particles to the vast celestial bodies that make up the night sky, you'll gain a firm grounding in core physics in a friendly and supportive environment. Learn about quantum mechanics, optics and particle physics while building problem-solving, teamwork and experimental skills. Enjoy a year at a partner university overseas for a global perspective on the subject and broaden your career opportunities. You'll develop a broad understanding of the laws that make up the natural world. Our academics are global experts in their fields and will help you step up to university-level physics. Choose from topics such as quantum mechanics, nuclear physics, chaos and dynamical systems and the life and death of stars. You’ll benefit from using state-of-the-art study spaces, computing suites and laboratories. Our research spaces include our own particle accelerators, the MC40 cyclotron for charged particles and HF-ADNeF, the most intense accelerator driven neutron source worldwide, as well as labs used for the construction of the detectors and electronics in experiments at the Large Hadron Collider, CERN. Spend your third year studying physics at an international university, immerse yourself in another culture and build language skills for working abroad. As a Birmingham Physics graduate, you'll have a broad range of options for the future.

The University will charge the maximum approved tuition fee per year. For the 2027 year of entry, we expect that the tuition fee for your first year of study will be £10,050. If Parliament agrees on an increase in tuition fees, the University will increase fees for each year of study normally in line with these changes and will communicate any change in the fees to you without delay. For details of the annual tuition fee for International Students please see the course web page listed in the 'course details' section above. If you are made an offer to study by the University, the yearly tuition fee will be stated in your offer letter. — 2027 provisional
