BSc (Hons) in Mathematics and Computer Science

The BSc (Hons) Mathematics with Computer Science course is an innovative programme of study which has been redesigned for students who wish to acquire knowledge in both Mathematics and Computer Science. With increasing dependence on computations in the scientific and business worlds, this course provides the skills required for undertaking careers in Mathematics, business analytics and software development.

It is indeed a programme of study that provides the students with a firm and comprehensive knowledge in computer and mathematical sciences for them to be able to work as mathematicians in professions requiring the application of mathematical tools in modern science, engineering and finance. Various sectors of industry face increasingly large-scale problems that can be solved only through specialised knowledge and skills in applied mathematics together with the knowledge of computer science.

The objectives are:

? to help students build, develop and apply mathematical models using advanced IT tools so as to solve theoretical and practical mathematical problems in industry.

? to deepen their knowledge of current research in mathematics and informatics so as to enable them to continue their education at a postgraduate level.

? to prepare graduates for employment in applied areas that require substantial input from both disciplines.
