Course summary

Study the fundamental mathematical theory and engineering practice that underpin Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. By combining the programming and algorithm skills of a computer scientist with the analysis and statistics understanding of a mathematician, you will be equipped for a career or further study in many of the most active and promising fields now and into the future.

The combination of mathematics and computing you will study will equip you with a fundamental understanding of the quantitative processes that underpin artificial intelligence and machine learning, preparing you for a leading role in the technologies that are revolutionising society.

You will develop professional software engineering skills honed by working on projects of increasing sophistication, enabling you to apply your theoretical understanding in our computer-powered society.

In later years of the programme, you will choose from scores of electives spanning higher mathematics and advanced computer science, enabling you to specialise in your choice of fields across these disciplines.

You will have the opportunity to acquire real-world experience through an industrial placement in your third year, and to work at the forefront of research in your chosen part of mathematics or computer science in your individual MEng project.

As a mathematics and computer science graduate, you will have access to careers and further study demanding either one of these degrees. Further, your skills will surpass those of single subject graduates in areas such as modelling, quantitative analysis, and data science where the two fields intersect.
