Honours Degree of Bachelor of Science in High Performance Computational Physics

Enter the world of supercomputers

Love calculations, formulas and data-enabled science? Want to solve cutting-edge problems at the forefront of physics?

Computational physics is a rapidly growing and highly interdisciplinary research area. High performance computations are an essential part of modern research in particle physics, condensed-matter physics, astrophysics, fluid mechanics, quantum field theory, quantum chromodynamics, and plasma physics.

In our Bachelor of Science (High Performance Computational Physics)(Honours) you will:

• find answers to cutting-edge problems using high-performance computing
• learn to program parallel supercomputers using state-of-the-art computer languages
• access the University's supercomputer, Phoenix; a 300 teraflop high-performance computer
• immerse yourself in small group discovery experiences with like-minded peers
• take core courses in physics, mathematics and computer science
• apply sophisticated computing skills to modern physics problems.

Your advanced computational and mathematical skills will enable you to pursue a wide range of careers ranging from the computer industry-including cybersecurity and defence-to physics research and investment banking.
