Course summary
Harness the power of logic and reasoning as you seek solutions to today's technological challenges. Are you the type of person who enjoys finding imaginative solutions and exploring the “how” and “why” behind everything? If so, this is the course for you. Mathematics provides the theoretical framework and essential tools for approaching complex problems, while computer science offers the practical expertise to put these solutions into action. Together the two disciplines drive innovation and transform the world around us. Even though technology continues to change, the mathematics behind innovations will stay the same. Studying with us, you’ll gain an understanding of the logic underpinning computing and programming to help you understand systems and technologies as they evolve. You’ll also have the freedom to shape your study with optional modules in your second and third year. Fuel future developments Machine learning, data science, web programming, computer networks and security engineering are just a few of the computer science areas you’ll examine. At the same time, our mathematics teaching team will cover calculus, algebra, probability and much more in their recently renovated £18 million building. To show you how this knowledge applies to the real world, we’ll discuss our research, including one project that helped save thousands of lives in Sub-Saharan Africa. The Undergraduate Research Seminar series is also a great opportunity to learn about topics not covered in the classroom, from neurohydrodynamics to improving cancer therapies with mathematics. By developing expertise in both areas, you’ll future-proof your career options. Want to fuel future developments in research, looking at innovations for computer vision, music and speech? Or eager to work for the likes of Dyson, JP Morgan or the Financial Conduct Authority? Anything is possible.
