Annotation
Physics and Data Science (PHDS) is the follow-up programme of Physics and will start in Fall 2023! Physics has shaped our view of the universe and the world around us by studying the basic concepts of space, time, and matter. Physics not only lays the foundation for other natural sciences and many engineering disciplines but is also a fundamental part of modern technology such as transistors, lasers, or global positioning systems. Physics is also of fundamental importance for global challenges such as global warming, E-mobility, or renewable energies. Moreover, quantum computing is a rapidly emerging technology that harnesses phenomena of quantum mechanics to tackle problems too complex for classical computers. The Constructor University Physics and Data Science major is a three-year BSc programme. Its physics content is oriented along the guidelines of the Konferenz der Fachbereiche der Physik (KFP) in Germany, the Institute of Physics (Britain) for BSc in Physics, and the topics required for the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) test. The data science component is being developed and taught in close collaboration with the Computer Science faculty at Constructor University. The Physics and Data Science programme is frequently optimized and fine-tuned by feedback from students and instructors and developments in research and teaching. The scientific knowledge, the international network of Physics alumni, and the problem-solving and social skills acquired during studies of Physics and Data Science at Constructor University guarantee success in our increasingly technology-driven society, as demonstrated by our many very successful graduates.
