Join a university ranked in the UK top five for Physics research (*THE* analysis of REF 2021) with an excellent reputation for teaching and learning. The future requires a multidisciplinary approach. Tomorrow's successful innovators will be people who can skilfully combine science, art, engineering, the humanities, economics, and enterprise skillsets to come up with purpose-driven solutions that drive positive change. These problem-solvers will be team players who employ a breadth of skills and qualities and work across specialisations, cultures and industries. This course combines in-depth subject specialism at the University of Bristol alongside practice-based learning delivered by the Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship's multiple [award-winning teaching team](https://www.bristol.ac.uk/innovation/the-team/). In conjunction with your physics studies, you will learn to apply design thinking methods to grow a moment of inspiration into feasible plans that could include launching social and commercial enterprises. This course combines all that you would expect of a research-informed physics degree with expert tuition, insight and practice in innovation and entrepreneurship. The course will equip you with all the critical, theoretical and practical skills central to physics. You will learn about the fundamental building blocks and forces of nature and how physics enables us to understand the world around us, from subatomic particles to cosmological length scales. You will see how this knowledge is used to drive technological innovation in areas such as semiconductors, superconductors, materials science and quantum information and computing. Collaborative group work is a core component of our learning approach. You will join up with students from other innovation disciplines, such as geography, economics and film and television, building on each other's ideas and combining knowledges to develop novel solutions. This approach mirrors that of innovation teams to build in-demand professional skills in how to communicate, deliver actionable results, and give value to your unique interests and contributions. By the time you graduate, you will have a portfolio of work ranging from live client projects to planning your own entrepreneurial venture. You will have learned how to evaluate the potential of products and services and how to sustain new endeavours, including through financing. Importantly, you will have cultivated a network of peers and advisers who have worked with you throughout your studies. For more information visit the [Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship.](https://www.bristol.ac.uk/innovation/) 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. Teaching for this course takes place both at our vibrant Clifton Campus and our cutting-edge Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus, where enhanced links with businesses will help give you real-world knowledge, networks and skills to succeed once you graduate. Physics units are taught at Clifton, while innovation units are taught at Temple Quarter.
