Physics with Computing

About this programme

Join our MSci Physics with Computing degree at a university ranked in the UK top five for physics research (THE analysis of REF 2021) with an excellent reputation for teaching and learning.You'll combine exploring the building blocks and forces of nature with training in computational and data science skills revolutionising science and society. In this degree, you'll analyse examples drawn from the physical sciences to learn state-of-the-art computational methods.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 degree offers a unique combination of units and projects. It blends programming, machine learning, data science and high-performance computing with core physics. You'll gain a strong foundation in physics, a clear understanding of scientific computing, and the ability to see what's possible when they're combined.In the final year of this MSci course, you'll get the opportunity to study more advanced material in even greater depth. This gives you a real career boost, whether you're investing in your skills for industry or preparing for further research.You'll join a friendly department with a lively, award-winning student society. We'll support you to develop a wide range of skills, including the experimental, theoretical and computational skills needed for a successful career. Bristol graduates have a great record of employment across a range of industries because employers really value the skills we teach.Our Think Big international scholarships for undergraduate and postgraduate students could help fund your UK study at the University of Bristol.
