Swansea University... Where Global Futures Begin
As a Physics student at Swansea University, you have the option of considering a year or semester abroad.
For those on a BSc Physics programme variant, you may be able to transfer from your three year degree scheme onto a four-year course which includes a year abroad. You will usually need to start thinking about this during your first year and then come along to Study Abroad talks at the start of your second year, where we will tell you what you need to do next, then you go abroad in your third year. You may already be on a four-year course which includes a year abroad.
For those on the MPhys programme, you have the opportunity to spend a semester abroad at the University of Houston, USA in the first semester of your third year. Please note that availability can vary on an annual basis, as the University of Houston is a University-wide partner and therefore places cannot be guaranteed.
In the meantime, take a look at universities the Physics department is currently partnered with. This list can change annually, and you may also have the option to apply for a place at a 'university-wide' partner, however availability and destinations vary year on year so please be prepared to be flexible!
Enrolment on a programme with a semester/year abroad does not guarantee you a semester/year abroad placement. Spaces are limited and subject to a competitive selection process. In the event you do not secure a semester/year abroad placement, you will be transferred to the standard variant of your degree scheme without a semester or year abroad. Options available to you may depend on the details of the Brexit settlement negotiated by the UK government.
