BSc Physics with Year in Computer Science BSc (Hons)

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.<br/><br/>Study the theories of physics with the practical applications of computer science. This combination will help to ensure you graduate career-ready. Youll receive a comprehensive physics education taught by award-winning academics. Throughout the degree youll gain skills in mathematical modelling and programming. Youll be able to use these as tools for problem-solving in later years of the course.<br/><br/>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. Theres a wide variety of topics including:<br/><br/><br/>• Astrophysics<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Medical physics and imaging<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Semiconductor physics<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Theoretical elementary particle physics<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Quantum dynamics<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Software engineering<br/><br/><br/><br/>• AI and Machine Learning<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Why choose this course?</strong><br/>• Study two interdisciplinary topics to graduate career-ready<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Learn about modelling, programming, software engineering and AI<br/><br/><br/><br/>- 91% of our undergraduates are in full-time employment or further study within 15 months of graduation (School of Physics and Astronomy and School of Computer Science, HESA Graduate Outcomes, 2020 graduates)<br/><br/><br/>- 18th in the UK in the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2025 (Computer Science and Information Systems)<br/><br/><br/>- 12th in the UK in the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2025 (Physics and Astronomy)<br/><br/><br/>• Taught by award-winning academics and researchers from the School of Physics and Astronomy and School of Computer Science<br/><br/><br/><br/>This course is also available as an integrated MSci course (UCAS code F4G4).
