What you study	Computer Science Physics	Astronomy Physics
What it is	You study both computer science and physics together, learning to code and build software alongside the theory and maths of how the physical world works. This combined degree lets you apply computational methods to physics problems rather than choosing one subject. It suits students curious about how computers can model and solve real-world physical phenomena.	You study the physics of stars, galaxies, and the universe — how they form, behave, and interact. The BSc&Mgt option adds business and management courses alongside your science, useful if you want to lead research teams or work in science-related industries. This program suits students who are strong in math and physics and curious about large-scale cosmic questions, especially those considering co-op work terms to test careers in research, planetariums, or tech companies.

Same subject area and a similar published range, at a campus you have not got in the table yet.

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
