Mathematics underpins all contemporary science, business and technology. Our three-year BSc degree in Mathematics and Computer Science is a highly regarded programme that welcomes students from around the world.

Throughout your studies you will develop a solid grounding in the fundamental concepts of mathematics and computer science, covering a range of industry-relevant topics including modelling, graphics, security, data analysis, machine learning and artificial intelligence.

You will also have the opportunity to choose one of three key themes; Modelling and Simulation, Data Science and Logic, and AI, learing about the theoretical foundations, and developing the practical skills in programming and problem solving, to focus your interests and career prospects.

Your learning will be shaped by inspirational and internationally-renowned academics who have expertise in a range of topics, and you will study in bespoke teaching spaces, designed by, and for, mathematicians and computer scientists.

You will master the ideas and logic of mathematics and computer science, and their applications, with strong analytical skills, logical reasoning, data handling and quantitative thinking, building a highly desirable set of graduate attributes that will set you apart in the employment marketplace.

You will benefit from dedicated learning and teaching spaces, set within the world-class £32.5m Computational Foundry and developed specifically for mathematicians and computer scientists. Facilities include a Mathematics Reading Room, a hub for studying and group work, a departmental library of resources for learning and research, and a networking space for student socialising.

This programme includes opportunities to undertake a Year in Industry, in the UK or overseas, enabling you to gain valuable workplace experience. The University advocates for paid-only placements, which on average have a salary of over £20,000. Unpaid placements are considered on a case-by-case basis.
