Mathematics and Computer Science (with a year in industry)

About this course

Mathematics and computer science together provide one of the most powerful intellectual combinations available in higher education. Mathematics develops rigorous logical reasoning, the ability to construct and evaluate formal proofs, and the mastery of the quantitative and abstract frameworks that underlie computation, cryptography, data science, and artificial intelligence. Computer science develops the practical and theoretical skills needed to design, build, and analyse software and computational systems. The two subjects reinforce each other at every level: the mathematics makes you a more principled computer scientist, and the computer science gives you powerful tools for applying mathematical ideas. At the University of York, this five-year full-time programme leads to a master's level qualification, reflecting the depth and ambition of the combined course. You will study core are
