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, using machine learning techniques in physics, or carrying out simulations for computational astrophysics.
The final year of this MSci course supports you to graduate with highly-developed professional skills. You'll work on a major project based on a real-world problem or linked to one of our research groups. Supported by an active researcher in physics, you'll enhance your knowledge at the leading edge of current physics. Combined with a range of synoptic modules, the MSci will develop your professional skills in:
Choose optional modules from year two in the areas that interest you most. There's a wide variety of topics including:
