Physics and Data Science (PhDS) is the follow-up program of Physics, as data science plays an increasing role in the world of physics.
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 program. 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) Physics 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 program 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.
The undergraduate program at Constructor University is a three-year, 180-credit-point program designed to prepare students for a wide range of career paths.
The “4C Model” is the program's backbone, with disciplinary content grouped into three themes according to study years: CHOICE-CORE-CAREER. Additionally, the “CONSTRUCTOR Track”, an integral part of the program, runs parallel throughout the program. It provides students with multidisciplinary content and essential skills such as argumentation, data visualization, societal engagement, and communication.
The curriculum allows students to tailor their education to their goals and to explore different fields of study, with the flexibility to change their major within the first year. Moreover, the programs include a mandatory internship and a study-abroad opportunity in the fifth semester to provide students with hands-on experience and a global perspective.
A Constructor University BSc in Physics and Data Science provides a solid and simultaneously flexible foundation for careers in diverse fields, from basic research (which frequently includes scientific data analysis) to engineering and life sciences, to finance and management. The scientific knowledge, the data handling qualification, the problem-solving skills, and the 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.
The broad training in analytical skills, data handling, technical thinking, and the appreciation of complexity and subtlety allows data-aware physicists to work—often with additional qualifications—as management consultants, patent attorneys, market analysts, or risk managers. Many BSc degree recipients go on to graduate in Physics, Data Science and other fields, as careers in research and development usually require a postgraduate degree.
Constructor University Physics BSc graduates have an excellent placement record in top graduate programs, which will improve further by the added data handling skills in the present program. Very helpful for career development is also the opportunity for international network building with Constructor University students coming from more than one hundred different nations. Good communication skills are essential, since many physicists work as part of a team, have contact with clients with non-physics backgrounds, and need to write research papers and proposals. These skills are particularly well developed in the broad and multidisciplinary undergraduate program at Constructor University.
The Career Services Center (CSC) as well as the Constructor University Alumni Office help students in their career development. The CSC provides students with high-quality training and coaching in CV creation, cover letter formulation, interview preparation, effective presenting, business etiquette and employer research as well as in many other aspects, thus helping students identify and follow up rewarding careers after their time at Constructor University. Furthermore, the Alumni Office helps students establish a long-lasting and worldwide network which comes in handy when exploring job options in academia, industry, and elsewhere.
