BSc (Hons) Computer Science and Mathematics

Nottingham Trent University, United Kingdom

Course Overview

Mathematics and computer science go hand in hand, especially in an increasingly digital world. Being able to code someone else’s algorithms is useful but we’ll teach you to design and implement your own – taking your skills to the next level.

You’ll get to grips with the building blocks of mathematics such as algebra, calculus, and statistics but there’s so much more to it than that. As well as developing your complementary computing skills, the course also strengthens your knowledge of mathematics, making you a better coder. We’ll give you plenty of opportunities to get hands-on and practice.

In your final year, you’ll have a choice of options from both the computer science and mathematics sides of your course. The modules you choose and your choice of project allow you to create your own pathway depending on your interests.

Our Computer Science and Mathematics degree is current and relevant to the needs of 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.
