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.<br/><br/>Do you enjoy both physics and computing? Our MSci Physics with Computing 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 degree programme, state-of-the-art computational methods are taught through the medium of examples drawn from the physical sciences.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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. A highlight of the third year is a group project in which students work together to produce code to solve a real-world physics problem. In your final year, you will undertake a major research project, supervised by staff with expertise in physics and computing. Our students final-year projects address questions at the frontier of our research fields. The most successful have been published in scientific journals.<br/><br/>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 physics graduates have an excellent record of employment which is a testament to the value that employers place on these skills.<br/><br/>If you have a fascination for physics and an appetite for scientific computing, you will enjoy this course.
