Master of Science in Physics - Computational Physics

University College Dublin

The School of Physics at UCD is a leading centre for research and teaching in physics, with a strong international reputation. The UCD School of Physics is consistently highly ranked in both national and international tables.Research in theoretical physics at UCD spans many subject areas, including condensed matter, quantum theory, nano-bio, nanoelectronics, and particle physics. Computational physics, whether calculations or simulations, forms a key part of modern research. Indeed, experiment and theory advance complimentary aspects of our understanding of the complexity of the natural world. Computational studies make the link between new theoretical concepts, and experimental observations of new phenomena.
