Physics - Engineering Phys - Phys w Cosmology - Phys & Maths - Phys & Management - Sports Sci & Phys - IT & Phys - Foundation - OpenPlus - LCPP UCAS codesThis programme is no longer recruiting. The final intake is in 2008.The programme is accredited by the Institute of Physics. Computers have had an enormous impact on physical science, and on physics in particular. Computers are used by experimenters to collect, store and analyse experimental data, and by theorists to perform complex calculations and simulations. Scientists with a particular strength in computing have an important role to play in many areas. This is a Joint Honours programme run in collaboration with the Department of Computer Science. Physics makes up 50% of the material covered, so that graduates from the programme are very much "physicists". However, they will also have a sound understanding of procedural and object-oriented programming, together with a broad spread of other subjects in Information Technology.Students take modules of total weight 60 credits each semester. All modules have a weight of 10 credits unless a larger number is given. Modules listed in italics are optional. At the end of the second year students can choose to take a sandwich year of employment in industry or a year of study abroad or proceed directly to the third year. Modules listed in italics are optional; not all options will run in any one year. The list gives the provisional content for 2008–9. For full details of requirements see Programme Regulations.
