BComptlSci Degree with a Physics Emphasis

For those people with a strong interest in Physics we suggest the following sequence of units. The choice of units in second year will allow for a full range of third year physics units. On the other hand it is possible to choose electives in first and second year (from for instance Biology or Chemistry) to allow a choice of application specialisation in third year. It is suggested you consult with the appropriate physics year-coordinator to discuss your specific unit choices.

Year	Core Computer Courses	Core Maths Courses	Other Core Courses	Application Courses	Application and Elective Courses

Notes: It is possible within the constraints of the degree to undertake a full physics load in second year. The choice of PHYS2017 and PHYS2020 allow for a full range of choices in third year. On the other hand, it is possible to replace the two Physics electives with other units. This will restrict the range of Physics units available in third year, but it would be possible to enroll in a number of third year Physics units with the approval of the Head of the Physics Department.
