Mathematics and Computer Science

About this course

Mathematics and computer science share intellectual roots so deep that the boundary between them has been genuinely contested since the origins of both modern disciplines. The theory of computation, algorithms, cryptography, formal logic and many of the foundational ideas of software engineering were developed by mathematicians, and the modern relationship between the two fields remains one of the most productive in science. Graduates who are genuinely fluent in both are exceptionally versatile and highly valued across technology, finance, research and a growing range of other sectors. At Queen's University of Belfast, this three-year joint degree is delivered in conjunction with the School of Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, ensuring that both disciplines are taught to genuinely high standards. You will study mathematics and computer science at each level of th
