Mathematics, Computer Science and Physics (Streatham campus, Exeter)

Mathematics, Computer Science and Physics are at the heart of scientific and technological progress. Mathematics provides the language and logic for exploring everything from the smallest particles to the largest galaxies. Computer Science is a fast-moving field that shapes the digital world, from algorithms and coding to data science and artificial intelligence. Physics seeks to understand matter, energy and the Universe itself, answering fundamental questions about nature and our place within it.
Through this strand you will take part in academic tasters and practical activities that showcase all three disciplines, while gaining valuable insight into what it is like to study them at university.

Activity Locations
All subject activity sessions will take place on the University of Exeter Streatham campus, with the exception of one field trip (leaving from Streatham campus to the Met Office).
This strand runs over six sessions, with five held on the Streatham Campus and one external field trip. You will experience a mixture of academic tasters, practical activities and opportunities to learn directly from staff and current students.
In Physics and Astronomy, you will explore big questions about the Universe, including the study of exoplanets and the chance to handle real meteorites. In Computer Science, you will develop coding skills through interactive sessions in Python and University of Exeter applications, learning how algorithms and data drive modern technology. In Mathematics, you will tackle thought-provoking problems that showcase both the creativity and rigour of the subject.
The programme concludes with a joint session where all three disciplines come together to demonstrate how maths, physics and computer science combine to solve complex, real-world challenges.
Applicants must be studying A-Level Mathematics, and priority will be given to those also studying A-Level Physics or to students studying Computer Science or with some coding experience.
In order to pass the programme, you must attend a minimum of 5 out of 6 subject activity sessions, as well as the Exeter Scholars Student Conference.
