About this course

This course brings together topics from both mathematics and computer subjects where there is a common relevance. It offers the opportunity to explore both theory and practice, developing computational skills to test theoretical concepts experimentally through computational modelling and algorithm design and testing.

A student enrolled on this programme can expect the following:

  • To be taught by academics research-active in computational mathematics, numerical analysis, computational modelling and software development, machine learning, deep learning, cybersecurity

  • To develop practical IT and programming skills using state-of-the-art software and hardware, which can be found in industry, commerce and academia

  • To develop a skill for using computational tools to further explore and test mathematical hypotheses, through algorithms, simulation and modelling

  • To develop skills and knowledge appropriate to preparation for postgraduate study or further research, and to a range of vocations and careers

  • To provide effective, structured learning opportunities which promote the practical application of Computer Science in industry, business and research domains

    Foundation Year courses have been designed for students who do not have the necessary academic qualifications needed to enter directly into the first year of a degree but who have the ability and commitment to do so. Once the Foundation Year has been completed successfully, you can then go on to complete your degree.
