Courses English language undergrad courses in Europe (non-uk)

AI Thread Summary
A UK student is seeking recommendations for respected undergraduate physics courses in Europe, particularly those taught in English and with affordable fees. The student is considering options in the UK and mainland Europe, specifically mentioning interest in "Year in Europe" courses. They have noted the International Physics Study Programme in Leipzig, Germany, and the general sciences program at University College Utrecht in the Netherlands as potential options. The student has strong academic credentials, including A levels in further maths, physics, and chemistry, and is aware that tuition fees in Germany are generally low for public universities, around 500 euros per semester, excluding private institutions like Jacobs University. Additionally, Ireland offers a tuition fee of approximately 2000 euros per year for EU students.

Hi

I am a UK student and I'll be applying for undergrad physics courses in the UK and hopefully mainland Europe to start next September - just in time for the £9000/year fees to kick in! Most of my chosen UK courses are "Year in Europe" courses anyway, since I would like to study abroad anyway.

I was wondering if anyone knew of any decent/respected Physics courses (preferably with affordable fees) around Europe taught entirely in English. I speak French to a fair standard, but nowhere near well enough to study in it, and am willing/able to learn any language to the standard needed to survive in that country.

I am aware of the International Physics Study Programme in Leipzig, Germany and also of the more general sciences programme at University College Utrecht in the Netherlands.

I'm currently taking A levels in further maths, Physics and Chemistry, and last year I got an A* in A level Maths, and 3 As in AS Physics, Chemistry and Biology, so I'm hoping grades will not be much of an issue.

Thanks in advance,

Nick

Note that for Germany, most universities are public and the tuition fees are in general 500eur (max) per semester, but this does not apply to Jacobs university which is a private institution.

good for you! you and your year have been well and truly screwed over by the ConDems.

so, IRELAND - 2000 euro a year I think for EU students
 
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
