This programme draws on Edinburgh's joint strength in computational physics and informatics.You will develop a strong interdisciplinary background including topics in both computer science and physics. You will have the chance to study topics that cross both fields, for example, computational simulation of physical systems. A joint programme allows you to gain a well-rounded learning experience. You will have more exposure to different disciplines, allowing you to expand your knowledge and expertise.Teaching on joint programmes is split across the two subject areas, and teaching will take place in locations associated with both subjects.
You will be mostly based in the School of Informatics with lectures, tutorials and classes held in Appleton Tower. The building is located in the University's Central Campus area, and provides purpose-built facilities and dedicated learning and teaching spaces.You will also attend classes in the Nucleus building at the King’s Buildings campus. The King’s Buildings campus is around 15 minutes by bus from the Central Campus.
