3-year full-time; 4-year thick-sandwich This single honours course is for committed mathematicians who also want to become skilled in modern day computing and information systems. Students gain the skills needed to develop their mathematical and statistical knowledge and apply these skills to solve problems in computing, business and other areas. Approximately two-thirds of the course is devoted to mathematical and statistical subjects and one-third to computer science. The mathematics course is wide-ranging and covers several application areas. These include finance, statistics, operational research (how maths can be applied to commercial and industrial problems), numerical analysis and mechanics. You will have the opportunity to specialise at Level 3. The mathematics subjects focus particularly on aspects of modern algebra that relate to computer science, and also include a considerable amount of numerical analysis of mathematical problems. In later years, for example, you could specialise in modern encryption methods as used, for example, in internet transactions. The advanced computing modules include databases and the construction of interactive systems. Although theory is important, we place equal emphasis on best practice and real world applications.

These statistics relate to graduates from a number of different pathways – Mathematics, Mathematics and Management Studies, Mathematics and Computing, Mathematics and Statistics with Management and Mathematics with Computer Science.
