International Foundation in Engineering and Science (Standard) Leading to Master of Science (Hons) in Mathematics and Computer Science

Program Overview

Mathematics is the universal language of science while computer science is the study of the hardware and algorithms that are used in modern computer systems. Since many of the early pioneers of computer science, for instance Alan Turing, were mathematicians it is not surprising that these two subjects are closely related. This is a four-year joint degree programme, in conjunction with the School of Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, that combines the study of the two subjects at each level.

Global Opportunities

  • We participate in the IAESTE and Erasmus student exchange programmes, which enable students to obtain work experience in companies and universities throughout the world.

Industry Links

  • All students in the school have the option to include a year in industry as part of their studies. This is a fantastic opportunity to see mathematics and computer science at work in the real world, and to enhance your career prospects at the same time. Several local financial services companies (including Clarus FT, Effex Capital and AquaQ Analytics) were founded by our graduates.

World Class Facilities

  • A new Teaching Centre for Mathematics and Physics opened in September 2016. This provides a dedicated space for teaching within the School. Facilities for mathematics include new lecture and group-study rooms, a new student social area and state-of-the-art computer facilities. Computer Science teaching takes place in the iconic Bernard Crossland building on the Malone Road, just a short walk from the Mathematics department. The building was recently refurbished at a cost of £14M, and houses standard computer and lecture rooms as well as laboratories and break-out spaces.

Internationally Renowned Experts

  • The School of Mathematics and Physics is a large school with staff from 13 countries, including UK, US, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Bulgaria, Russia, Argentina, Cuba, Germany, China, Greece, Kenya, Niger, The Netherlands and Romania. Many of our staff are leading international experts in their fields of mathematical research. Thus the ethos of the School is one of excellence in research informing excellence in teaching.

Student Experience

  • Many students find the transition from school to university somewhat daunting. In order to help with this transition, Mathematics students have introduced a Peer Mentoring scheme that is generally regarded as one of the most effective in the University. As well as providing a forum for first year students to obtain support, it also provides mentors with transferable skills which will increase graduate employment opportunities.
