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
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
