Mathematics with Computer Science (including a Foundation Year) BSc (Hons)

This course brings together topics from both mathematics and computer subjects where there is a common relevance. It offers the opportunity to explore both theory and practice, developing computational skills to test theoretical concepts experimentally through computational modelling and algorithm design and testing.<br/><br/>A student enrolled on this programme can expect the following:<br/><br/><br/>- To be taught by academics research-active in computational mathematics, numerical analysis, computational modelling and software development, machine learning, deep learning, cybersecurity<br/><br/><br/>- To develop practical IT and programming skills using state-of-the-art software and hardware, which can be found in industry, commerce and academia<br/><br/><br/>- To develop a skill for using computational tools to further explore and test mathematical hypotheses, through algorithms, simulation and modelling<br/><br/><br/>- To develop skills and knowledge appropriate to preparation for postgraduate study or further research, and to a range of vocations and careers<br/><br/><br/>- To provide effective, structured learning opportunities which promote the practical application of Computer Science in industry, business and research domains<br/><br/><br/>Foundation Year courses have been designed for students who do not have the necessary academic qualifications needed to enter directly into the first year of a degree but who have the ability and commitment to do so. Once the Foundation Year has been completed successfully, you can then go on to complete your degree.
