Mathematics and Computer Science

About this programme

Mathematics and Computer Science drive many of today's fastest-growing industries, from artificial intelligence and cybersecurity to software engineering, finance, and data science. This integrated master's degree combines rigorous mathematical study with practical computing, helping you develop the analytical, technical, and problem-solving skills employers increasingly look for. At the University of Lincoln, you'll explore how mathematics underpins modern computing and how computational tools solve complex real-world problems. You can study areas such as programming, algorithms, statistics, machine learning, data modelling, software development, and artificial intelligence while building strong logical and quantitative reasoning skills. The integrated MSci pathway allows you to progress to master's-level study as part of your undergraduate degree, enabling you to deepen your expertise without needing a separate postgraduate application. This integrated Master's degree (MSci) offers students the opportunity to continue their study for an additional year at an advanced level, examining topics in greater depth and undertaking substantial, additional project work. You’ll build a strong foundation in both mathematics and computer science, including: As the course progresses, you’ll explore how mathematics and computing work together in areas such as AI, scientific computing, simulation, cryptography, and optimisation. Teaching may include lectures, practical computing sessions, mathematical workshops, group projects, and independent research, helping you develop both tech
