Explore the laws of the entire universe and the use of data science on our MSci Physics with Data Science. Be at the forefront of advanced opportunities in research, IT, business and finance. From quantum interactions of sub-atomic particles to the vast celestial bodies in our night sky, you'll master physics in a friendly and supportive environment. Learn how to extract knowledge from data and graduate ready for a range of careers. Understand the laws that make up the natural world, discover how to use machine learning and AI as a physicist. You could be analysing data collected by the particle accelerators at CERN or applying artificial intelligence to detect exoplanets from telescope data. Choose from topics such as quantum mechanics and the life and death of stars. You’ll benefit from using state-of-the-art study spaces, computing suites and laboratories. During your final year you’ll join a research group and apply your knowledge to an individual project, developing high-level research skills. Our research spaces include our own particle accelerators, the MC40 cyclotron for charged particles and HF-ADNeF, the most intense accelerator driven neutron source worldwide, as well as labs used for the construction of the detectors and electronics in experiments at the Large Hadron Collider, CERN. With our integrated masters, you'll have an exciting future in a scientific environment or using transferable skills in different senior roles.

The University will charge the maximum approved tuition fee per year. For the 2027 year of entry, we expect that the tuition fee for your first year of study will be £10,050. If Parliament agrees on an increase in tuition fees, the University will increase fees for each year of study normally in line with these changes and will communicate any change in the fees to you without delay. For details of the annual tuition fee for International Students please see the course web page listed in the 'course details' section above. If you are made an offer to study by the University, the yearly tuition fee will be stated in your offer letter. — 2027 provisional
