How You Study
This joint honours degree aims to offer a broad education in applied and pure mathematics, coupled with the opportunity to develop the analytical and problem-solving skills associated with computer science. The programe provides students with opportunities to advance their understanding in both fields and emphasises the bridges between theory and practice.
Students have the chance to learn from, and work alongside, our team of academics. They can support and encourage them to apply imagination, creativity, and rigour, to the solution of real-world problems.
In the first year students have the chance to benefit from an additional three hours per week of problem-solving tutorials. During the first year of the programe, the School of Mathematics and Physics also runs a tutor system, providing one hour weekly tutor sessions in small groups.
The course is taught via lectures, problem-solving classes, computer based-classes and seminars.
