BSc (Hons) in Physics and Computing

One of the most important concepts in physics is that, behind the apparent complexity of the world around us, nature has an underlying simplicity and unity which can be expressed in terms of allembracing fundamental principles and laws. As well as being concerned with such fundamental questions, physics is a widely applicable subject and forms the basis of much of modern and, more importantly, future technologies. 

The Physics with Computing programme provides a solid grounding in physics, mathematics, and computing. The programme combines the study of a fundamental and widely applicable subject with the opportunity to acquire high-level skills in experimental, theoretical and computational methods of problem solving. It also includes state of the art topics like bioinformatics and data mining. As such, the programme provides a secure foundation for a very wide range of careers including teaching, computing and finance, as well as in the more obvious technical areas of research and development in industry, government laboratories and universities. The analytical and problem solving competences of physicists are also appreciated worldwide in less obvious areas like management and law. 

IN ADDITION, OUR PROGRAMME OFFERS THE APPROPRIATE BACKGROUND FOR SPECIALISATION THROUGH FURTHER STUDIES, OR RESEARCH AT POSTGRADUATE LEVEL, BOTH LOCALLY AND OVERSEAS.
