Physics
There are a variety of options for Physics majors and minors to study abroad. Spending time abroad will allow students to gain an understanding of global perspectives in the field of physics, and will provide an invaluable learning experience. This page contains information that will assist Physics students with determining how to integrate study abroad into their Brandeis careers.
Approved Programs
Program & Courses Examples pages are organized alphabetically by department. The Brandeis approved program list database is filtered by programs with Physics courses. You may also filter by other parameters like location, housing type, and more.
Experiential Learning
The above links take you to programs that reported they have internships or research available in Physics. Study Abroad Advisors can help you work with the program to learn more about the types of opportunities available, as some may be limited, competitive, or have pre-requisites like language requirements.
Receiving Credit in Physics
Students wishing to receive credit in Physics for coursework done off-campus during the academic year should discuss these plans with the Study Abroad Liaison. Students hoping to earn credit abroad toward their Physics major should confirm with the Physics department prior to departing abroad how courses may or may not be able to count. The link above is a list of already pre-reviewed courses and how they can count toward the Physics major/minor. Upon return, semester students should complete the Petition to Request Substitution for a Requirement form for final and formal review.
Study Abroad Liaison
To assist students with their academic choices abroad and to help answer any questions about receiving major/minor credit while abroad, each academic department and program has assigned a faculty member to serve as the Study Abroad Liaison. As every department has different policies regarding credit from abroad, the Study Abroad Liaison can assist you with guidance on major/minor credit. Find the Study Abroad Liaison for Physics here.
