Physics with Computer Science

Study the theories of physics with the practical applications of computer science. You'll receive a comprehensive physics education taught by award-winning academics. Throughout the degree you'll gain skills in mathematical modelling and programming.

You'll be able to use these as tools for problem-solving in later years of the course. 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. Studying physics at Nottingham means diving into the excitement of learning about the way the physical universe works; from the smallest scales of elementary particles and quantum gravity to dark energy and the large-scale structure of the universe itself with all that lies in between. You’ll learn from award-winning academics who are recognised by the Institute of Physics.

Many of our academics also feature on the Sixty Symbols YouTube channel. Our MSci integrated master's programme offers you the chance to study areas of the subject in greater depth, pushing the boundaries of what is known. You’ll further sharpen the skills that employers highly value enabling you to transition to the professional workplace and excel in your chosen career.

In this additional year, you'll dedicate half the time to working on a cutting-edge research project with one of our world-class research groups. You’ll gain hands-on experience that’s both challenging and rewarding.
