Bachelor of Science majoring in Computational Physics
Adelaide University
Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Undergraduate
CRICOS: 04249J
Our Bachelor of Science majoring in Computational Physics is for big thinkers and math whizzes. It is highly physics-focused, laying a strong foundation for you to advance in computational fields. Study core physics principles like electromagnetism, quantum mechanics and thermal physics. Use numerical methods and advanced mathematics to understand and solve complex problems. Build practical skills for programming and data analysis using languages like Python and MATLAB. In more advanced courses, you'll dive into sophisticated high-performance computing techniques. Create simulations to model physical systems - like weather patterns, how galaxies form, or how atoms interact. Get familiar with advanced software and algorithms. Communicate complex results through visual tools like graphs, images, and animations. Learn to solve cutting-edge problems in theoretical, computational and mathematical physics. Our degree opens doors to dynamic careers in areas like engineering, manufacturing and meteorology.
