Course summary

This three-year course combines 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 course, state-of-the-art computational methods are taught through the medium of 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.Year one gives you a comprehensive grounding in physics, mathematics and programming, while year two focuses on the principles of physics with further emphasis on scientific coding. In your final year, you will undertake a research project or dissertation supervised by staff with expertise in physics and computing.You will join a friendly department with a very active, award-winning student society. We encourage you to develop a broad range of skills, including the experimental, theoretical and computational skills needed for a career in research and industry. Our physics graduates have an excellent record of employment which 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.
