Do you enjoy both physics and computing? Combine the study of the building blocks and forces of nature with training in the computational and data science skills that are revolutionising science and society. In this degree programme, state-of-the-art computational methods are taught through examples drawn from the physical sciences.
Computing skills are vital across many physics-related careers. Computers control advanced instrumentation and simulations predicting the properties of the universe, from subatomic particles to the formation of galaxies.
This course offers a unique combination of units and projects blending programming, machine learning, data science and high-performance computing with fundamental concepts in physics, to produce a new kind of scientist - one with a firm foundation in physics, a sound appreciation of scientific computing and an understanding of what can be achieved by combining them.
MSci courses allow you to study more advanced material in greater depth during your final year, giving you a career boost through investing in your skills development or preparing you for further research.
You will join a friendly department with an active, award-winning student society. We support you to develop a broad range of skills, including the experimental, theoretical and computational skills needed for a career in research and industry. Our graduates have an excellent record of employment across a range of industries. This is a testament to the value that employers place on these skills.
If you have a fascination for physics and an appetite for scientific computing, you will enjoy this course.
