Course info

Many real-world problems are solved using a combination of mathematical and computational techniques. Our BSc Computer Science and Mathematics degree will equip you with essential skills in both areas and in their intersection.

Mathematics and computer science are closely linked and this course provides a strong foundation for careers that use both subjects, as well as those traditionally open to single honours graduates in either discipline. The course is balanced evenly between computer science and mathematics, giving graduates a wide range of experience in both areas. In the first two years, you will study core mathematics subjects needed for business, industry and academia, with a particular emphasis on computational methods. The core computer science subjects have a particular emphasis on mathematical aspects of computer science. In your third year, you will complete a project that draws on your combined knowledge of computer science and mathematics. You will also have the opportunity to tailor you degree by choosing from a range of optional specialised modules in both subjects. ###

What's the difference between MSci and BSc?

The Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree will provide a thorough grounding in the critical areas of the subject and enable you to develop skills and knowledge sought by employers in diverse industries. The Masters in Science (MSci) degree also provides an ideal preparation for research and development work in industry or for a PhD and is designed to create leaders in the subject area by giving in-depth experience of cutting-edge research.

The facilities are awesome, particularly if you love getting involved in sport. The worst thing I’ve had to deal with is the room booking system for societies is occasionally frustrating, though they are in the midst of reworking it now. Very good, can highly recommend coming here.

Great campus uni, lots going on, great societies (e.g. The Christian Union), everyone is pretty friendly, study spaces are always pretty busy

I like the small town feel and how you bump into your friends (compared to studying at like london or something) I don’t really like the clubs at the union (music-wise), so maybe that could be changed.

Loughborough epitomises the fantastical campus experience you see in movies and such. The greenery throughout the campus and cliques you see walking around the university, I'd you want the campus feel during your time at uni you want Loughborough! A caveat that comes with this is the size of the campus but the shuttle bus mitigate this.

Great to meet new people from dufferent areas, can become overwhelming with work at times, could maybe space out exam times more

Best thing about the uni are the clubs and campus facilities. Something I would improve about the uni is to give every single course a reading week instead of a select number of courses

All the facilities they provide...like the sports and supports that's good. But the events details can't be found easily.

Best aspect is the community and how people are really competitve and want to work together for the bettering of the community. Worst aspect is some of the unrefurbished buildings which are next in line to be refurbished. Some of the processes that students have to go through at the university.

Lots of good fun where we get too meet lots of new people and experience things that wouldn't be possible anywhere else. I learnt lots of things from several very smart lecturers from all sorts of backgrounds that know what is useful after university

Accommodation is decent, dining halls are a good place to socialise. Decent amount of societies, could be more. People aren't too social unless events are to do with drinking. Facilities/ computer labs are pretty good, good amount of study spaces. Easy access to Nottingham and Leicester (can't comment on them, not been). Everything you need in town, Spoons is nice (even though I don't drink). Lecturers are also alright. Best part for me is definitely the people and how close everyone is, so easy to organise things to do. Worst part is also the people, decent amount of people who have fragile egos and feel emasculated by everything, also big drinking culture, so can get loud in village + messy.

Best being the amazing facilities at the UNI. Worst being the parking experience as a commuter. Where you have to park 20 minutes of walk away from the lecture halls of computer science.
