Mathematics with Computing

About this course

Mathematics and computing are disciplines that have always been deeply connected: computers were invented by mathematicians, and the most important advances in computing, from cryptography and algorithms to machine learning and computer graphics, rest on mathematical foundations. Studying them together gives you a degree that is greater than the sum of its parts, combining the abstract power of mathematics with the practical creativity of computing. This four-year full-time programme at the University of Essex allows you to develop both, building the conceptual depth of a mathematics degree alongside the technical skills of a computing education. You will study pure mathematics, including analysis, algebra, and discrete mathematics, alongside applied topics such as numerical methods, optimisation, and mathematical modelling. The computing strand covers algorithms, data structures, progr
