Computer Science and Mathematics, BSc (Hons)

In a rapidly evolving world, computer science and mathematics drive technological innovation, requiring strong foundations in mathematical fundamentals, statistics, and machine learning. The BSc in Computer Science and Mathematics at Durham explores their interconnections, offering practical skills for data-driven careers through industry collaborations. The program balances core modules in both fields during the first year, including computational thinking, algorithms, calculus, linear algebra, probability, and statistics.In subsequent years, students select from optional modules on topics like artificial intelligence, data science, and statistical modelling, culminating in a final-year individual project. This flexible structure allows transfers to related degrees and develops transferable skills for roles in emerging fields. Assessment combines coursework, exams, and the project, which constitutes a third of final-year marks, preparing graduates for impactful careers in technology.
