Mathematics is everywhere: weather forecasting, cash machines, secure websites, electronic games, liquid crystal displays, statistical data analysis. We use statistics to explore and explain the world in which we live, such as in opinion polls and market research. However, it’s also important for manufacturing and testing many products, in particular showing that modern drugs are safe in treating humans. Our course focuses on applying mathematics to solving practical problems. Computers are an essential part of modern business and mathematics must often be formulated before the computer can be of use.

Graduates in Mathematics & Computer Science can go into a wide range of jobs from the manufacturing and service industries, the actuarial, accountancy and banking professions, commerce and government, consultancy and education. Graduates in Mathematics & Computer Science are well prepared for careers involving theoretical computer science or programming of advanced scientific problems including cryptography.
