Join a University ranked in the UK top five for Physics research (THE analysis of REF 2021) with an excellent reputation for teaching and learning.
Do you enjoy both physics and computing? Combine the study of the building blocks and forces of nature with training in computing and data science skills. It includes a year of gaining hands-on, paid experience in industry. 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. 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. It aims 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.
Year one gives you a comprehensive grounding in physics, mathematics and programming. Year two focuses on the principles of physics with further emphasis on scientific coding.
The third year is spent working on a computing project with an industrial partner. The industrial year can be a life-changing and rewarding experience providing valuable insights into the commercial pressures and real-world applications of physics and computing.
During the third year, you will study core physics via distance learning in readiness for your return and your final-year project. This will be a major research project, supervised by staff with expertise in physics and computing and addressing questions at the frontiers of our research fields. The most successful final-year research projects from related courses have been published in scientific journals.
MSci courses allow you to study advanced research-led material in your final year, developing originality in your application of knowledge and development of advanced techniques to solve problems.
You will join a friendly department with a very 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 programme.
