Computer Science and Mathematics BSc (Hons)

About

Introduction:

Mathematics and computer science go hand in hand, especially in an increasingly digital world. Being able to code someone else’s algorithms is useful but we’ll teach you to design and implement your own – taking your skills to the next level.

You’ll get to grips with the building blocks of mathematics such as algebra, calculus and statistics but there’s so much more to it than that. As well as developing your complementary computing skills, the course also strengthens your knowledge of mathematics, making you a better coder. We’ll give you plenty of opportunities to get hands-on and practice.

In your final year, you’ll have a choice of options from both the computer science and mathematics sides of your course. The modules you choose and your choice of project allow you to create your own pathway dependent on your interests.

Our Computer Science and Mathematics degree is current and relevant to the needs of business. Our close links with industry means that, if you wish, you’ll have the opportunity to take up job placements with some of the world’s leading companies.

We offer BSc (Hons) Computer Science and Mathematics (with foundation year) which you can apply for if you don't meet the entry criteria for this course.

Every year we offer a number of short research scholarships within one of our research teams. This is a great opportunity for you to further your interests and contribute to the academic activities of the Mathematics department.
Join our Mathematics Society, and you’ll have the opportunity to take part in regular events hosted on campus by the local branch of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications.
97% of our mathematics students were in work or further study 15 months after graduation (Graduate Outcomes Survey 2020/21).
