Bachelor of Science in Physics - Computational Physics

The University of Winnipeg

In the computational physics stream, you will learn all about the fundamental laws of nature, while developing real world skills in numerical methods and coding, as well as data handling and visualization. You will also learn about leading edge techniques such as artificial intelligence (AI), quantum computing, and machine learning. Professors in the physics department conduct research in subatomic physics, medical physics, theoretical physics, and applications to developing fields of technology like digital agriculture. All of these research areas make use of computing to solve problems, and many students participate in research using computational resources under the direction of faculty. As with the main physics program, students may find paid summer employment with the various research groups. This program leads to a Bachelor of Science degree (4-year Honours), which provides excellent preparation for entry into graduate programs in computer science or physics or into industry where analytical and computing skills are in demand.
