Physics with Data Analytics

The BSc in Physics with Data Analytics is run by the DCU School of Physical Sciences with partners across DCU and industry.

In this ground-breaking degree, you will combine the skills and knowledge of a Physics degree with the advanced data analytics tools you need to solve real-world problems in new and exciting ways. It is particularly suitable for those who wish to pursue a career as a physicist in industry, finance, tech or other demanding corporate sectors.

Why is it exciting?

Physics is the most fundamental science. It explains the mysteries of the universe and has fuelled many of the scientific and technological developments that we take for granted. Physicists pioneered modern technologies as diverse as the Internet, digital cameras, and MRI scanners. 

Today, physicists continue to generate new knowledge about our world and lead innovation in cutting-edge realms such as:

• quantum information and communications technology
• nano-systems design
• ultrafast molecular switching 
• terahertz medical imaging
• spearheading research on sustainable energy production and other global challenges.

Our technology-infused world also generates massive amounts of data and physicists are among those working to interpret that data and revolutionise how technologies are harnessed. The methods to process data are not only used in physics but applied across disciplines and sectors, including the semiconductor industry, pharmaceutical industry, finance, and software development, giving you an exciting range of options.
