20 credit points of work are Open Units chosen at the discretion of the student; the remaining 100 credit points are chosen with the agreement of the School of Physics.
Have a knowledge and understanding of the core physics material from the level 6 MSci physics course at Bristol and be able to solve problems at this level in both English and in the language of their host university.
Have a knowledge and understanding of further optional physics (or related) units as taught by the partner university and will be able to solve problems related to these courses.
Students will be able to cope with the challenges of living and studying in a foreign country.
Variable, as teaching is at the partner university.
