>>12165271Computational physics mean you will have more computer science and mathematics classes to understand computer simulation software and apply them to study physical phenomena. Due to its vastness, this field of study has its supporters and critics. Some physicists believe that too many courses are devoted to CS areas, so the student does not have adequate knowledge in physics compared to classical students. On the other hand, this direction is developing a lot and introduces a breath of fresh air in physical research. To sum up, computational physics is a good direction (normal physics is also good, of course), but it would be ideal if it would last, for example, 7 years, not to give up the material of normal physics which is packed anyway. The best solution seems to be to complete physics and computer science separately, but it usually takes 2 years longer.
