Course summary

We are in the process of a digital revolution. The way we interact with the world around us is changing at supersonic speed, and mathematicians and computer scientists are at the forefront of this cutting edge technology – spotting opportunities and solving problems in every area of our daily lives.

Mathematics underpins the core features of computing and coding. This course focuses on this fascinating subject and supports you to develop a broad knowledge of mathematics and science in your foundation year. It provides you with a solid foundation from which to move on to BSc (Hons) in Computer Science and Mathematics in your second year.

Learning by doing is the focus of this course and you’ll do just that, by taking part in lots of projects both on your own and in a group. This develops your problem-solving and creative thinking skills.

If you change your mind, you have developed the skills and knowledge to move on to one of our other mathematics courses in your second year.

Our Computer Science and Mathematics degree is current and relevant to the needs of the business. Our close links with the industry mean that, if you wish, you’ll have the opportunity to take up job placements with some of the world’s leading companies.
