Computational Physics (BSc Hons)

About this programme

The close relationship between physics and high-performance computing is embodied in our Computational Physics degree programme.Most theoretical problems are now sufficiently complex that they cannot be solved by mathematics alone. As experimentation becomes more difficult and expensive, computer simulation has become the most practical way to understand complex phenomena such as:turbulencenuclear reactors and weaponsclimate changeThese are the areas where computational physicists already dominate. In the future, based on current recruitment patterns, the methods of
