Computer Science and Mathematics

About this course

Computer science and mathematics is a pairing of two disciplines that are more deeply intertwined than their different reputations might suggest. Computer science has mathematical foundations in logic, discrete mathematics, algorithms, and probability that determine what computation can and cannot achieve, while mathematics increasingly relies on computational tools for exploration, visualisation, and proof. Studying both together develops graduates who understand each discipline more profoundly than they would as specialists in only one, and who can bring quantitative rigour and algorithmic thinking to problems that neither discipline alone would fully address. At the University of Durham, this three-year programme develops your knowledge of both disciplines to a high level. In the computer science strand, you will study algorithms, data structures, programming paradigms, software engi
