The future
“I did a Physics degree simply because I loved learning about Physics itself. I actually hated computers and programming before I started my Masters but I really enjoy them now, or rather, what you can do with them. Once you have learned enough of the underlying procedures, it’s like writing physics in any other language.

“I actually think that one of the most important things I have learned during my Physics studies here at the University is computer programming. I can now confidently script in Python, C++ and Fortran languages, so, even if I don’t continue in academia, I am confident I could get an interesting job using my skills in computer modelling which will be attractive to a variety of companies.”
