Computational and data Science Synergy Track
Data science and computational methods play an increasingly important role in modern science, industry, and society. We offer a synergy track Computational and Data Science in the master Physics and Astronomy and use the synergy of different disciplines in the science faculty that are engaged in computational modelling and data science.
This track intersects with the existing specialisations in the physics master (particle and astrophysics, physics of molecules and materials, neurophysics), physical chemistry.
The common base consists of 3 courses, that cover fundamental aspects of computing and data science independent of chosen specialisation direction:
Quarter 1 | Quarter 2 |
NWI-NM048D CDS: Machine Learning (3 EC) | NWI-NM066D CDS: Numerical Methods (3 EC) |
Second Semester | |
---|---|
Quarter 3 | Quarter 4 |
NWI-NM015C CDS: Advanced Programming (3 EC) |
This core curriculum should be supplemented to at least 15 EC by dedicated electives based on your specialisation:
Quarter 1 |
NWI-SM297 Molecular Modelling (3 EC) |
Quarter 2 |
NWI-MOL406 Quantum Chemistry (3 EC) |
NWI-SM299 Pattern Recognition for Natural science (3 EC) |
Quarter 3-4 |
