Computing & IT and Mathematics (W42-CITM)

This is one of several subject combinations available in our Diploma of Higher Education in Computing & IT and a second subject (W42). This diploma strengthens your analytical and technical skills by combining computing with mathematics. You’ll study programming, systems, and algorithms alongside mathematical methods and modelling, gaining the ability to solve quantitative and data-driven problems. On completion, you'll be well-prepared for entry-level roles in data analysis, technology support, or research, or to progress to the BSc (Honours) for further specialisation in computing and mathematics.

Key features of the course

• Offers a 50:50 split between computing & IT and mathematics

• Provides a choice of computing & IT topics to focus on

• Builds a solid foundation for further study
