BSc (Honours) Computing & IT and Mathematics

Open University, United Kingdom
Save

Course Overview

This is one of several subject combinations available in our BSc (Honours) Computing and a second subject (Q67). Computing & IT studied with mathematics can open career opportunities in various sectors. You’ll gain a good grounding in mathematical methods, complementing the computing & IT skills you’ll develop. So if you enjoy computing & IT, and mathematics, this qualification could suit you well. With an increased emphasis on data and mathematical modeling in recent years, most employment opportunities in mathematics require computing & IT skills. Consequently, graduates with analytical and computing skills are highly sought-after by employers – they can have an advantage over applicants with just one of these skill sets.

  • Combine complementary subjects – mathematics and computing & IT.

  • Focus on pure or applied mathematics to fit your needs and interests.

  • Choose from four focus options within the computing & IT strand.

General Eligibility

There are no formal entry requirements to study this qualification; however, you’ll need some basic knowledge of computing, and the ability to read and write to a good standard of English.

Part Time Work Details

In a distance learning course, there are typically no strict regulations regarding part-time employment, providing students with the flexibility to pursue work opportunities while studying remotely. This autonomy allows individuals to manage their schedules and balance professional commitments with their educational pursuits.
