Computing Science and Physics, BSc at University of Aberdeen, UK

                                 

OVERVIEW

This degree brings together two very closely linked subjects and offers a tremendous degree programme to those with a strong interest in both.

This programme follows a number of the core Computing Science courses undertaken as part of the straight BSc Computing Science degree and introduces key Physics components throughout all four years, in the form of a range of core and optional Physics courses. These include: Calculus, Optics and Electronics, Relativity and Quantum Mechanics, The Solid State, Nuclear and Semiconductor Physics and Modelling Theory.

The final year project is a joint computing and physics project.

Why Study Computing Science and Physics?

Why Computing

• Flexible degrees available, including; Single/Joint Honours BSc, MA or MSci degrees.
• Extra-curricular activities - Studying Computing is not just about programming. We run a variety of social and professional events regularly including; ACM programming Contest, Code The City and Global Service Jam.
• Aberdeen Software Factory - students get paid to work on client projects as a means to develop their software development skills.
• We run a hugely successful Computing Student Society, where students socialise and enhance their communication skills, and knowledge of hardware and software.
• Students are given the opportunity to develop their transferable skills and abilities as independent learners.
• Prizes for academic excellence are awarded in each year of study. These are sponsored by O’Reilly, the British Computer Society, CGI, EDS and Amazon. Projects are often successfully entered for national competition.
• Industrial Placements – about 50% of our students took part in placements, receiving very good feedback from the employers.
• We are a very close knit department of students and staff and you will be given the freedom to develop your skills and learning whilst being supported along the way.
• Our research expertise in Data Science and Data Analysis is at its strongest when we work in close partnership with other disciplines, such as Physics, Maths, Geography, Health and Biology.
• The Department of Computing Science is a thriving centre of teaching and research, particularly in areas related to Artificial Intelligence and Knowledge-Based Information Management.

Why Physics

• The Department of Physics at the University of Aberdeen has a long and illustrious history, and former staff include great physicists such as James Clerk Maxwell and G.P. Thomson.
• We offer a modern, modular degree structure with a broad syllabus and a wide range of degree choices.
• Long tradition of teaching physical sciences combined with modern facilities.
• Emphasis placed on teaching employability and development of generic skills, useful in a wide range of careers.
• We also offer a broad-based, less mathematical degree in Physical Science that allows the combination of Physics courses with a wide choice of other subjects.
• Learn from research active, academic staff.
• We are engaged in a wide range of research areas ranging from the fundamental nature of the universe through to understanding the atomic structure of complex materials and semiconductor device physics.
• Our graduates go in to a huge range of jobs including; Meteorology, Medical physics, Environmental monitoring, Astronomy, Particle physics, Geophysics, Materials science, Invention Design, Teaching,Financial Modelling.
