Introduction
Mathematics underpins many aspects of computer science by combining theoretical problem-solving with practical implementation. Together, they make a powerful combination for tackling complex challenges in various fields.
This interdisciplinary degree is ideal for someone with strong mathematical skills and a passion for computer science.
Benefit from two leading schools
You’ll benefit from the strengths, expertise and resources from the University’s:
- School of Computing
- School of Mathematics, Statistics and Physics
Both Schools have strong industry links and can provide hands-on experience with real-world projects, positioning you to be highly employable after graduation.
You’ll have the opportunity to do a paid year in industry or study abroad, which will strengthen your skills outside of the classroom.
Curriculum
What you'll learn
In Stage 1, you’ll focus on mathematics modules, as well as programming, to build a strong theoretical foundation for your computing modules in Stage 2. You'll then be equipped to explore computing topics that demand high-level mathematical rigor which will be the focus of Stage 3. You’ll also complete a group project, where you’ll solve a real-world problem using your chosen technology. The project will help develop skills needs for the professional world, such as:
- Teamwork
- Project management
- Communication
The programme offers flexible pathways in Stage 3, allowing you to tailor your studies to your passion.
You’ll be able to explore advanced topics that are deeply rooted in mathematics, such as:
- Artificial intelligence
- Quantum computing
- Internet of Things (IoT)
Career Opportunities
High-paying industries like finance, technology, and cybersecurity place great value on professionals with expertise in both computing and quantitative analysis. You’ll graduate with specialised expertise in computing, preparing you for advanced study or giving you a competitive edge in your chosen field.
