Physics with Quantum Computing BSc,with placement

What you will study

Our physics and quantum computing courses combine elements of traditional physics with the study of quantum technologies, providing students with the ideal foundation to start a career in this emerging field.

You’ll learn about existing quantum technologies, such as the devices used to transmit internet data and those behind the lasers in Blu-ray players.

During your first year, you can switch between any of our specialist physics courses. You can apply to study for either a BSc or an MPhys. The latter is a direct route to a masters qualification, known as an integrated masters. On an MPhys, you’ll spend a year doing integrated research before returning for your final masters-level modules.
