Computer Science and Mathematics

About this course

Computer science and mathematics are disciplines that have always been deeply intertwined. Mathematics provides the logical and quantitative foundations on which computing is built, from the formal logic underlying programming languages to the algebraic structures behind cryptography and the probability theory driving machine learning. Computer science, in turn, gives mathematics new tools for exploration and new problems to investigate, enabling the computational modelling of complex systems, the discovery of mathematical proofs through exhaustive search, and the visual representation of abstract mathematical structures. Studying both together gives you a dual perspective that is more powerful than either discipline alone. At Royal Holloway, University of London, this three-year, full-time programme allows you to work across both subjects, combining the abstract rigour of mathematical
