In addition to expertise in both subjects, the programme fosters the intellectual skills of analytical reasoning, systematic problem solving and the development and clear communication of ideas. Students studying Mathematics with Computer Science study roughly 75% mathematics and 25% computer science.Those interested in a programme with a larger computer science component can follow Mathematics and Computer Science (UCAS GG14). The split in this case is 50/50. Teaching excellence and student satisfaction 95% of our 2015 graduates reported in the National Student Survey that they were satisfied overall with their course.
