Join a university ranked 1st in the UK for chemistry research and in the UK top five for physics research (*THE* analysis of REF 2021) with an excellent reputation for teaching and learning. This four-year MSci course is for those considering scientific careers that will make direct use of their subject-specific knowledge and skills. The first and second years of this course are identical to [MSci Chemical Physics](https://www.bristol.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/2027/chemical-physics/msci-chemical-physics/) but your third year will be spent on a placement as a paid employee in a company. You will focus on areas at the interface between chemistry and physics, emphasising cross-disciplinary topics such as materials science and nanoscience, As well as lectures and practical classes, small-group tutorials and workshops help develop your understanding of challenging and exciting concepts. Practical labs in both chemistry and physics help develop experimental techniques, computational modelling, and programming skills needed in the final year for conducting a research project with a research team. 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. Our [Think Big international scholarships](https://www.bristol.ac.uk/international/fees-finance/scholarships/) for undergraduate and postgraduate students could help you fund your UK study at the University of Bristol.
