Mathematics and Computer Science

About this programme

This mathematics and computer science degree gives you a solid understanding of mathematical methods with core computing skills and the ability to apply them to real-life problems. Our BSc (Hons) Mathematics and Computer Science degree is designed for students who enjoy solving problems and want to understand how mathematics and computing work together. You will build confidence in both subjects as you develop the skills needed to tackle real‑world technical challenges. The course starts from core principles and gradually develops your knowledge of mathematics and computer science, supporting you as you progress. By the end of the degree, you will be able to use mathematical ideas to design and understand computer programs and systems, preparing you for a wide range of career options or further study. You will learn through lectures, tutorials and practical sessions, with time to practise new ideas and ask questions. Support is built into the course to help you adjust to university‑level study and develop effective study skills. You will also build skills in communication, teamwork and independent learning, which are valuable in both employment and further study. Our degrees are recognised for their excellent student satisfaction, employment outcomes, and "value added" - a measure of student achievement at university. By studying with us, you will join our close-knit mathematical community and be taught by our supportive and award-winning staff who wish to see you succeed. This degree is accredited by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, the UK's chartere
