Are you interested in how the world works and the technology used to shape it? If so, this could be the perfect course for you.

Study the theories of physics with the practical applications of computer science. This combination will help to ensure you graduate career-ready. You'll receive a comprehensive physics education taught by award-winning academics. Throughout the degree you'll gain skills in mathematical modelling and programming. You'll be able to use these as tools for problem-solving in later years of the course.

The year studying computer science will advance your computational skills. You can apply these to your physics research project in the final year. For example, machine learning in physics, or computational astrophysics.

Choose optional modules from year two in the areas that interest you most. There's a wide variety of topics including:

  • Astrophysics
  • Medical physics and imaging
  • Semiconductor physics
  • Theoretical elementary particle physics
  • Quantum dynamics
  • Software engineering
  • AI and Machine Learning
