Mathematics and Computer Science (3 or 4 years)

About this course

Mathematics and computer science at the University of Oxford is one of the most intellectually demanding undergraduate programmes in the world. The two disciplines are deeply connected: computer science emerged from mathematics, and the most important advances in computation, from the theory of algorithms to machine learning and cryptography, rest on mathematical foundations. Studying them together at Oxford means engaging with both at their deepest level, in an environment where the tutorial system challenges you to think with rigour and independence from the very beginning. This programme is available as either a three-year or four-year degree, the longer version offering the opportunity to go deeper into the material and to pursue a more extended project. You will study pure mathematics, including analysis, algebra, and discrete mathematics, alongside computer science topics such as
