Students from the Department of Physics on the following programmes have the opportunity to study abroad for a full year: BSc Physics BSc Physics and Philosophy MSci Physics MSci Physics with Theoretical Physics. Students on the BSc Physics & Philosophy programme follow the Physics destinations. BSc students add an extra year to their degree and will therefore study abroad in their 3rd year and return to King's for their 4th and final year. Current MSci Physics and MSci Physics with Theoretical Physics students replace their 3rd year at King's with a year abroad, adding no extra time to the degree. Students on the MSci Physics and MSci Physics with Theoretical Physics who are starting their King's degrees in 2023/4 and later have the opportunity to study abroad during their 3rd year or 4th year, adding an additional year to their degree, converting it to a 5-year degree. Those students who study abroad during their 3rd year of studies will return to King's to complete the 4th and 5th year of their degree, while those who study abroad during their 4th year of studies will return to King's to complete the 5th year of their degree

Module requirements

1) BSc with the year abroad: there are no compulsory modules. 2) Current MSci Physics & MSci Physics with Theoretical Physics MSci students can spend their third year in another university. In this case students need to take modules that are (more or less) equivalent to the ones that are offered to third year students at KCL. In particular, 6 modules are compulsory, students can check those modules on KEATS and should consult their study abroad tutor and department before applying to study abroad. MSci students starting their King's degrees in 2023/24 and later, who add an extra year to their degree will not have to fulfil any compulsory module requirements.
