Description

Our combined Mathematics and Computer Science programme brings together two well established and respected programmes in two world leading departments. Students on this combined programme study topics considered central to each discipline while gaining insight into the substantial interplay between the two subjects.

You can choose a three-year Batchelors programme, or a four year Masters programme, both leading to a combined-subject degree in Computer Science and Mathematics. It is taught and administered jointly by the departments of Computer Science and Mathematics. In the first three years, there is equal weight (60:60 credits) between Computer Science and Mathematics, and solid foundations are developed across the two subjects.

In the fourth year of the Masters prorgamme, you can choose to place an emphasis on either Maths or Computer Science or you can continue with an even split of the two subjects.

The programme is available with an industrial placement, which lengthens the programme by one year. This allows you to put the knowledge learned on the programme into practice in a real world situation, and gives you a head start in the competitive job market.

Course Content

First Year

The first year contains essential fundamental material in programming and computer architectures. It also contains mathematical and theoretical foundations of computer science. You will also take an equal number of credits in the Mathematics Department.

Second Year

The second year continues with fundamental material, such as 'Principles of Programming Languages' and 'Computability and Complexity'. Slightly more specialised topics start to be introduced, for example 'Artificial Intelligence' and 'Vision and Graphics'. You will also take an equal number of credits in the Mathematics Department.

Third Year

In the third year, you can choose from a range of options that match your interests and abilities. Again, the total amount of study is balanced between the two departments.

Fourth Year

Once you reach your fourth year, there is more flexibility and you can choose the split between the amount of study in the Department of Computer Science and the amount of study in the Maths department. You may wish to keep this split of study in each department, or you could vary this. In addition you complete a substantial individual research project, which can be taken in either the Mathematics or the Computer Science departments.
