Bachelor of Science in Computational Physics
Program Overview
The close relationship between physics and high performance computing worldwide is embodied in the Computational Physics degree course.
Most theoretical problems are now sufficiently complex that they cannot be solved by mathematics alone.
As experimentation becomes increasingly difficult and expensive, computer simulation has become established as the most practical way to understand complex phenomena such as:
- Turbulence
- Nuclear reactors and weapons
- Climate change
These are the areas where computational physicists already dominate. In the future, based on current recruitment patterns, the methods of Computational Physics will also come to dominate other areas such as:
- Financial markets
- Genomics
- Disease control
This physics-based programme is for students interested in computing, modelling and simulation. You will study:
- Programming
- Algorithms
- Problem-solving methodologies
You will receive a thorough education in Physics and the associated Mathematics, together with the ability to write computer programs to simulate natural systems.
The degree includes substantial practical experience, including the opportunity to use the University's world-class computing systems.
