About this course

Physics and data science is a combination that reflects a profound shift in how scientific discovery is happening across disciplines. Physics provides the fundamental theoretical framework for understanding matter, energy, space and time, from the behaviour of subatomic particles to the large-scale structure of the universe, and it underpins virtually every branch of applied science and engineering. Data science supplies the computational and statistical tools that allow scientists to extract meaningful patterns from vast quantities of experimental and observational data, from climate records and telescope surveys to particle detector outputs and medical imaging. Together they form one of the most powerful combinations available for students who want to be at the frontier of both physics and data-driven science. At the University of Sussex, this three-year full-time programme includes a
