Mathematics and Computer Science

On our Mathematics and Computer Science BSc programme you will be able to shape your degree to suit your career aspirations in exciting and rapidly developing areas. Depending on how your interests develop, you could choose to specialise in areas such as statistics, algebra, robotics and machine learning.

Whether you decide to delve into the world of statistics, or explore the exciting developments in robotics and AI, this Mathematics and Computer Science BSc programme will help you learn to apply analytical, statistical, computational and programming skills to formulate and tackle problems. Our world-leading experts will help you build your knowledge and skills in subjects that have a huge impact on our lives, we will support you to think logically, independently and imaginatively, equipping you to make the most of the opportunities ahead.

In small group tutorials we will encourage you to think critically and independently, helping you become a successful mathematician or computer scientist. The analytical and problem-solving skills you will learn will help you stand out in a highly competitive job market.

In this Joint Honours programme you will work at exactly the same level as students taking the Single Honours programme. In your first year, we will help you to make the step up to university level study. We will give you a sound mathematical basis in a broad range of subject areas and you will study the foundations of computer science together with programme design and programming techniques. The second year of your BSc Mathematics and Computer Science will introduce you to more advanced areas allowing you to develop particular interests. In your third year, you will take project modules and you can choose to specialise in mathematics or computer science.
