BSc Physics with Scientific Computing

at University of Bristol

Do you enjoy both physics and computing? Three-year BSc Physics with Scientific Computing combines 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; we call this 'scientific computing'.
 

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.
