Computer Science with Mathematics MSci, BSc at University of Leeds

Mathematics is the underlying language of computer science, and many of its applications are in the field of computer science. Historically, computer science is unthinkable without mathematics, and many breakthrough discoveries were made at the intersection of both fields. Nowadays, the rapid evolvement of computer science poses numerous exciting challenges that can only be solved hand in hand between both disciplines.

Taught by the School of Computing and the School of Mathematics, this course allows you to study core topics in both subjects while specialising in areas that link the two at Leeds.

You’ll explore topics such as logic, algorithms, graph theory, optimisation, scientific computing, big data and complexity science in depth, and consider how they are applied to meet some of the major challenges facing the modern world. Optional modules will allow you to focus on one of three individual specialisms: discrete mathematics, scientific computation, or complex systems.

You’ll study among experts in specialist facilities, benefiting from the expertise in both Schools. You’ll also apply what you’ve learned to an individual research project, helping you to develop the range of skills and experience you’ll need for a professional or academic career.
