This four-year MMath (Hons) program offers a unique opportunity to combine the rigorous principles of Mathematics with the dynamic field of Computer Science. You will gain an advanced Masters-level qualification, understanding the deep connections between these two disciplines. The course explores how mathematical concepts underpin computer science, from efficient algorithm design to formal software verification, and conversely, how computer science aids in solving complex mathematical problems. This integrated approach equips you with a comprehensive skillset to tackle modern technological challenges.
Curriculum
The course structure provides a foundational grounding in both subjects during the initial years, progressing to more specialized topics and allowing for focused study in your later years. Your final year project can be undertaken in either Mathematics or Computer Science. An optional five-year route with an integrated year in industry is also available.
