Course summary

Combine the skills and knowledge of a Physics degree with the tools you need to solve real-world problems with data science techniques. Physicists study the fundamental forces of nature and how materials behave and are much sought-after for their range of mathematical, analytical, and computer programming skills. As companies, governments, non-profits, and research organisations are starting to adjust to the massive amounts of data that are becoming available with the advent of new technologies, data science skills are increasingly in demand. This programme covers all of the core topics of the BSc/MSci Physics degree, including quantum mechanics, gravitation, condensed matter physics, astronomy, and laboratory experiments. You will have the opportunity to develop your Python programming skills, learn how to apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques, and gain insight from any kind of data using a toolkit of practical data analysis methods.
