The discussion centers on the experience of studying physics at UK universities, highlighting the variability in course structure, exam formats, and workload. Participants note that universities like Warwick and Cambridge have different assessment weightings, with Warwick's MPhys program allocating 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% across four years, while Cambridge's first two years may not count towards the final degree. The consensus indicates that physics requires significant dedication, with students often sacrificing social activities for study, particularly in later years. Additionally, the unpredictability of exams is a common concern, as past papers may not reliably reflect future questions.
PREREQUISITESProspective physics students, academic advisors, and anyone interested in understanding the academic and social aspects of studying physics at UK universities.
Yeah, but since he's from the EU, I don't think he'd have any restrictions imposed upon him. I'm not completely sure those transitive periods are over for all countries, though, so there might still be a catch somewhere.cristo said:If you're in the UK on a student visa then the number of hours per week you are allowed to work is restricted by the immigration services.

H_man said:If you want to really learn physics then you will spend most of your evenings studying and only a couple of evenings a week drinking in the union bar or some other activity.
