Course summary

Discrete Mathematics (MEng) draws on areas of both computer science and mathematics. You will acquire skills in software engineering, combinatorial analysis, formal proof and algorithmic analysis. Regular individual and group projects will consolidate what you have learned by applying it to practical problems. This course draws on areas of both computer science and mathematics. You will acquire skills in software engineering, combinatorial analysis, formal proof and algorithmic analysis. Regular individual and group projects will consolidate what you have learned by allowing you to apply it to practical problems. Your learning experiences throughout the course will enable you to both analyse and solve problems in an abstract sense, and realise solutions through computer software. These abilities, alongside transferable skills in communication, planning, and self-organisation are highly valued by employers. By studying the four-year MEng, you have the flexibility in your final year to choose optional modules, tailoring the degree to your interests. You may choose to spend a year in industry, research institutions, or study abroad between Years Two and Three, or between Years Three and Four of your degree. This will be reflected in your degree title.
