Overview:

The BSc (Hons) Computer Science and Mathematics programme combines computational thinking with mathematical theory and problem-solving. At Loughborough University, the course provides a foundation for understanding how mathematical concepts and computer science principles can be applied together to analyse problems and develop effective solutions.

What You'll Learn:

• Core concepts in computer science, including computational methods, programming, and the principles underlying digital systems.

• Fundamental areas of mathematics that support logical reasoning, analysis, modelling, and problem-solving.

• Techniques for approaching complex problems through structured computational and mathematical methods.

• The relationship between mathematical ideas and their applications within computer science.

• Methods for analysing information, developing solutions, and evaluating approaches using quantitative and computational reasoning.

• The integration of mathematical and computing perspectives when investigating technical problems.

Learning Outcomes:

By the end of the course, students will be able to demonstrate a sound understanding of fundamental concepts across computer science and mathematics. They will be able to apply logical, mathematical, and computational approaches to investigate problems, construct appropriate solutions, and assess the effectiveness of different methods. Students will also understand how the two disciplines complement one another and will be able to use concepts from both areas to reason systematically about technical and quantitative challenges.
