Program Description

Studying a combined honours in computer science and physics will provide you with a breadth of knowledge and wide range of skills across two exciting subject areas.

Initial modules are designed to bring everyone up to speed and you will learn the key themes that underpin each discipline. In computer science you will explore the fundamentals of programming, computing and gain the professional skills required for effective academic study. In physics you will explore familiar topics such as mechanics, gravity, electricity, magnetism, oscillations and waves through to more modern areas like special relativity and introductory quantum physics.

Building on the knowledge you have learnt in both subjects, in years two and three you will explore advanced core modules such as software engineering, quantum mechanics, nuclear and particle physics, solid state physics and electromagnetism. To add breadth to your learning, you can also choose modules that align with your career aspirations or interests. In your final year you will have the opportunity to work on final year projects that may be experimental, computational or theoretical.

GAIN EXPERIENCE IN INDUSTRY

From a year working in industry to paid internships, there are opportunities available throughout the curriculum to develop and enhance your practical skills. Paid or voluntary experience in your area of interest will not only demonstrate your commitment and passion, but will also enable you to make meaningful connections by networking with experts in the field.
Please note the year work placement option is only available within the computer science component of this programme.

STUDY ABROAD

During years two and three of your studies you may choose to spend a semester or year studying abroad. This will enable you to experience and appreciate different cultural perspectives and to establish international networks. We offer exchange opportunities with a wide variety of partner institutions.

SUPPORT

We offer a robust multi layered student support structure to help you meet your academic and personal needs. You will benefit from the guidance of an academic mentor and access to Keele's Student Experience and Support team. Our open-door policy enables you to engage with your lecturers directly, meaning you can seek support, gain feedback, or discuss any matters relating to your studies on a regular basis. In addition to this, experienced students and doctoral researchers usually run help-desk sessions to help with the use and configuration of software especially when exam and coursework deadlines get closer.

SOCIETIES

We have a wealth of student-led societies here at Keele which cover a diverse range of interests. Joining a society related to computer science or physics is a great opportunity to continue to develop your skills away from your studies and can be beneficial when it comes to applying for graduate roles.
