Bachelor physics course with a large amount of modelling / simulation

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding universities that offer a physics course with a strong emphasis on modeling and simulation as part of the first year of a bachelor's program. Participants suggest looking for specializations such as computational physics and engineering science, which focus on simulating physical systems. They emphasize the importance of researching various universities, as program names and offerings can vary significantly. A specific example provided is the Bachelor of Engineering in Engineering Science program at the University of Auckland, which aligns with the interest in modeling and simulation. Additionally, it is noted that specialized courses, like computational science at the University of Sydney, may become less available over time, highlighting the need for prospective students to stay informed about program changes.

Hi guys,

I am very interested in modelling and simulation as a part of a bachelor physics course. So I am searching for a physics course, as a part of 1st year bachelor study, where you do very much modelling and simulation.
Can you name me some universities or universities of applied sciences and arts with a physics course in 1st bachelor year that hits my condition? Doesn't matter where this university is.

Would be happy if you shared your knowledge and experience.

Thanks for your help.

Look for specializations like computational physics and engineering science (Yes, this is a BE specialization but pretty much all they do is simulating physical systems). Different universities can have vastly different names on these specialization so have a look around the ones you can realistically go to (I don't understand people two spend like 3 hours going to school...) and if they have programs like these.

Here is a link to B.E. in Eng. Sci. from Auckland:

Apparently computational science died in Sydney, specialized courses can have this happen to them:

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
