Course summary

If you are both mathematically inclined and interested in computer science, then a Mathematics and Computer Science degree is perfect for you. Taught jointly by the Departments of Computing and Mathematics, this course will enable you to develop a firm foundation in mathematics – particularly in pure mathematics, numerical analysis and statistics. You will also learn the essentials of computer science, with an emphasis on software development and broader theoretical topics. Your studies will incorporate core modules and project work from both departments, while also providing opportunities to choose from a wide variety of optional modules and focus on subjects that most appeal to you. As computing principles and mathematical ideas spread into all facets of life, this course will help you cater to the growing demand for professionals with expertise in both areas. The high level of shared content means transfer between any of our Mathematics and Computer Science courses is usually possible at any time during the first year. If you are an international student, transferring to a different course could have an impact on your visa, but our International Student Support Team are here to help advise and support you. As well as your main Imperial degree, you will also receive the award of the Associateship of the City and Guilds of London Institute (ACGI) on completion of this course.
