Course summary
Study both computer science and maths in this combined course. The skills you gain from both disciplines will make you highly employable across a range of sectors.
Computer science is founded upon maths, and the study of the two together allows you to explore topics core to both while gaining an insight into how they intersect.
Maths influences computer science, from designing and analysing efficient computer programs to developing formal proofs that a piece of software does what was intended. This is especially important, for example, if the software is being used to fly a plane.
Increasingly, computer science is also being used to find solutions to mathematical issues. Computers are used to solve long-standing mathematical problems, as they can help visualise complex numerical data, search for solutions, and make number manipulation faster.
Course content
You will gain a thorough grounding in both computer science and maths in your first two years, introducing the fundamental concepts in both subjects while gaining an insight into the interplay between the two. In your final year you can choose to weight your studies towards either subject. Your individual project can be in either subject.
Teaching and assessment
You鈥檒l study and learn with academics who are active researchers, experts in their field and have a passion for their subjects. Our approach to teaching will provide you with the knowledge, opportunities, and support you need to grow and succeed in a global workplace.
Careers and skills
The move towards a digital economy creates demand for computer scientists and software engineers across a broad section of employers, so the skills you develop here will make you attractive to many organisations.
Many of our graduates are employed by software and electronics industries, but the continuing expansion of the use of computers in commercial and financial operations means that you will be able to find employment in other industries - and here your sharpened numeracy and analytical skills will have prepared you well.
