Mathematics and Computer Science

About this programme

Mathematics and computer science shape almost every modern industry from artificial intelligence and cybersecurity to finance, gaming, data science, and software development. This joint honours degree combines logical problem-solving, advanced mathematics, and practical computing skills to prepare you for a wide range of high-demand careers. At the University of Lincoln, you'll learn how mathematical thinking powers modern technology while developing hands-on programming and computational skills that employers actively look for. You'll explore areas such as algorithms, data analysis, machine learning, software development, and applied mathematics, gaining both theoretical understanding and practical experience. Whether you already know you want a career in tech, data, finance, or research or you simply enjoy solving problems and want flexible career options, this course is designed to help you build future-ready skills with real-world relevance. You'll study in a supportive environment with access to specialist computing facilities, experienced academic staff, and opportunities to apply your learning to industry-inspired projects. Our BSc programme currently meets the educational requirements of the Chartered Mathematician designation. This is awarded by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA), when it is followed by subsequent training and experience in employment to obtain equivalent competences to those specified by the Quality Assurance Agency for taught Master’s degrees. The MSci programme is accredited by the IMA.
