Bachelor of Science in Physics with Data Analytics

It’s definitely for you if you’d like to work as a physicist in industry, finance, tech or other demanding corporate sectors, where physicists are among those working to interpret that data and revolutionise how technologies are harnessed. This degree combines lectures, tutorials, stimulating laboratory work, and projects combining fundamental physics concepts with exciting, real-life technological skills and applications. You’ll study physics, maths, programming, machine learning, artificial intelligence and quantum computing, among other topics. In third year, you can do an INTRA work placement or work in one of the research groups in the School of Physical Sciences or DCU-affiliated research centres, where you’ll help with cutting-edge research projects. Either way, you’ll do your final year project in DCU’s world-class laboratories and research centres. As a graduate, you’ll be sought after as an analyst or project manager by technology startups, semiconductor or pharmaceutical industry, banks, insurers, gaming companies, software firms, global tech firms and multinational professional services organisations. A future in middle or higher management will be a concrete option if it interests you.

Applicants that have completed at least one year of study at NFQ Level 6, 7 or 8 at another institution may apply to continue their studies on a similar programme at DCU. There should be substantial overlap in content between the two programmes to be considered for a transfer. Results and other supporting documentation must be submitted to CAO by the closing date of 1st July. This is a competitive application process for a small quota of advanced entry places. Offers are made on a rolling basis until all places are filled. Early application is advised. Please note: Applicants should also consider applying through the appropriate route for first year entry to the programme they are interested in. This application process is only for advanced entry.
