Computer Science and Mathematics

About this course

Computer science and mathematics is a combination that sits at the heart of modern computing and data-driven technology. Mathematics provides the rigorous conceptual foundations, including logic, analysis, algebra, probability, and combinatorics, that underlie the theory of computation, the design of algorithms, the security of digital systems, and the statistical methods that power machine learning and data science. Computer science takes these foundations and extends them into the design, implementation, and analysis of the systems and software that modern life depends on. Together, the two disciplines produce graduates who can move fluently between abstract reasoning and practical engineering. At the University of St Andrews, this four-year full-time BSc (Hons) degree grounds you in both the theory and practice of computer science alongside rigorous mathematical training. You will le
