    Physics (B.S.)/Computer Science (M.S.) at Illinois Institute of Technology

    International students can study the Physics (B.S.)/Computer Science (M.S.) at Illinois Institute of Technology at its main campus in Chicago, United States of America. This Master degree is available as a Full Time program delivered on campus in English. The program has a duration of 2 years and is offered at the university's main campus. Students can apply for the next intake starting on August 22, 2027.

    About Physics (B.S.)/Computer Science (M.S.)

    This program is designed for career seekers in the government, industry, the military, and environmental and health-related fields where radiation protection and planning are critical. Illinois Tech is one of a handful of universities offering this accelerated masters opportunity.

    Combining a strong physics background with advanced computer science skills builds strong computational physicists who can build models for experiments.

    The physics program at Illinois Tech has a rigorous interdisciplinary nature to the program, providing a greater understanding of how physics is interrelated with biology and chemistry. Be prepared for immediate entry into positions in industrial, medical, and other research laboratories and for graduate study in biophysics, solid state physics, or high-energy physics.

    And then stay an extra year on campus to earn a Master of Science in Computer Science degree. Combined with the interdisciplinary physics program, advanced computer skills will provide a strong competitive edge when entering the natural science job market. Or prepare for a doctorate program.
