About this course

BSc in Mathematics and Computer Science, with learning roughly split between the two disciplines across four years. Core topics include Programming, Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning, and Mathematical Modelling. A year-long work placement between the second and final year provides industry experience in areas such as finance, IT, statistics and modelling. The degree is approved by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications toward Chartered Mathematician designation.
