In our changing world, the field of computer science which is underpinned by mathematics is a driving force behind many of the transformative technological breakthroughs that have shaped our lives. The skills required by today's dynamic tech sector demand a robust knowledge of mathematical fundamentals, statistics and machine learning.The BSc in Computer Science and Mathematics allows you to explore the connections between the two fields and provides the foundational knowledge and practical skills needed to thrive in a data-driven workplace. At Durham, learning is informed by our close collaborations with high-tech industries and employers, which affords us invaluable insights into emerging trends and priorities in the industry.An equal balance of Computer Science and Mathematics in Year 1 includes computer science, pure mathematics, statistics and probability, before moving on to a range of option modules in innovative technological applications during Year 2. This provides a strong foundation from which you can explore more advanced topics in statistics, artificial intelligence and data science in the final year. The final year also includes an individual project and the option to complete our interdisciplinary enterprise module. This module develops complementary graduate skills as you work in groups to develop a business plan to bid for mock research funding.The wide array of option modules provides the flexibility to tailor your learning in line with your evolving interests. In addition, the common first year allows the option to transfer onto either the MSci Computer Science and Mathematics, BSc Computer Science, BSc Mathematics degree or BSc Natural Sciences at the end of Year 1.A degree in Computing and Mathematics opens doors to a wide range of exciting roles where you can make a real difference in the world. And in this fast-evolving field, you're not just preparing for the jobs that exist today, you’re also equipping yourself with the skills to thrive in new and emerging areas.
