  • 15th in England for Mathematics, Guardian University Guide 2025
  • Be career ready by gaining transferrable, professional and employability skills
  • Enhance your employability by learning to programme in Python
Your first year will introduce you to core topics in both computing and mathematics, including programming, computer systems, algorithms, sets, functions and proofs, calculus, algebra, and differential equations. During year two you will continue to build your understanding of core topics. From databases and scientific computing to differential equations, you will strengthen your learning by applying your knowledge to real-world scenarios. You also have the opportunity to tailor the programme to your career aspirations by choosing from a variety of optional modules including computer graphics and animation. From year two you can choose to spend time in industry with full time or modular placement opportunities. You can also hear from industry guest speakers and develop invaluable professional and employability skills. In your final year you will unleash your creativity and undertake an individual project involving computer science and mathematics. The project will enable you to apply theoretical knowledge and problem-solving skills to a technical, software, programming, research or business problem.
