The MPhys Physics with a Year Abroad degree at Swansea University is a four-year scheme ideally suited to those wishing to become professional physicists.
As an MPhys Physics with a Year abroad student, you will be able to choose from an exciting range of modules which could include frontiers of nuclear physics, astronomy and cosmology, quantum mechanics, condensed matter physics, nano bio-photonics and magnetic resonance physics. You will also spend a year studying at an overseas university, either one where a student exchange programme already exists or one of the student's own choice.
In addition, some students will have the opportunity spend the second semester of their final year (4th year) doing their MPhys research project with the Swansea Antihydrogen group stationed in CERN. The selection process for this is very competitive and based on academic criteria.
