Course Description
As well as studying the fundamental forces of nature and how materials behave, physicists 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, we are seeing the demand for graduates with "data science" skills skyrocket. The Physics with Data Science programme is designed to provide you with all the skills and learning opportunities of a traditional BSc/MSci Physics degree, combined with the tools and practical knowledge you need to solve real-world problems with data science techniques.
Physics with Data Science covers all of the core topics of the BSc/MSci Physics degree, including quantum mechanics, gravitation, condensed matter physics, astronomy, and laboratory experiments. On top of this, there is a stream of modules that will help you develop professional 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. The course will also prepare you to be competitive on the job market, by connecting you with potential employers in technology, finance, healthcare, and scientific research, and giving you opportunities to perform independent research projects and develop a portfolio of data science techniques that you have mastered.
The course is taught by leading research physicists at Queen Mary, who are involved in a range of "big data" projects and experiments like the Large Hadron Collider, the Square Kilometre Array, and the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, as well as working with commercial partners like IBM and the UK Atomic Energy Agency. Whether you plan to become a research physicist, master financial data, or apply your skills to big problems at NGOs or in industry, Physics with Data Science will equip you with the tools and knowledge you need to succeed.
