Computer Science and Mathematics MSci

The modules we outline here provide examples of what you can expect to learn on this degree course based on recent academic teaching. The precise modules available to you in future years may vary depending on staff availability and research interests, new topics of study, timetabling and student demand.

The first year of this programme aims to give you a firm foundation in analytical methods and in the fundamentals of programming and computer systems.

From your second year onwards, you’ll have a choice of optional modules which allows you to tailor your degree towards your preferences in Mathematics and/or Computer Science.

In the third year, students on the Computer Science and Mathematics programme carry out an extensive computing research project, whilst those studying Mathematics and Computer Science will take at least 50 per cent of their final year credits in Mathematics.

The 4-year MSci Computer Science and Mathematics programme provides the opportunity to study more advanced material and obtain a higher level qualification. The final year includes a substantial project involving elements of both Computer Science and Mathematics, as well as a range of advanced optional modules in the two subjects. Graduates of these programmes are able to tackle a wide range of problems, making them highly employable.
