Computer Science and Mathematics

About this course

Computer science and mathematics is a combination that brings together two disciplines with deep natural connections: mathematics provides the theoretical foundations for computing, and computing provides new tools and contexts for mathematical exploration. Algorithms rest on mathematical proofs of correctness and efficiency, the analysis of computation draws on combinatorics and number theory, machine learning is built on linear algebra and statistics, and cryptography depends on advanced mathematics. Studying both together allows you to develop a more rigorous understanding of each than a purely applied computing education or a purely pure mathematics degree would provide. At the University of Manchester, this three-year programme includes a foundation year, making it accessible to students who need additional preparation in mathematics and computing before tackling degree-level study
