Mathematics with Computer Science (Study Abroad)

Lancaster University

Mathematics forms the foundations of all technology and computing. This intrinsic link provides you with limitless opportunities to experiment and innovate, giving you the power to revolutionise business, healthcare, the government, and beyond.By combining the study of mathematics with computer Science, you will gain the specialist skills and knowledge needed to excel in this field. You will develop invaluable insight into key concepts and systems in to tackle the biggest challenges of today - artificial intelligence, machine learning, data management, and cyber security and risks – and understand the mathematical concept and processes behind them.Enrich your university experience with a year overseas at one of our partner universities. In Year 3, head out to start your adventure and immerse yourself in a different cultural and academic community. **What to expect**This four-year degree begins by guiding you through the mathematical concepts and methods that sit at the foundation of both disciplines. From multivariable calculus, probability and statistics, to logic, proofs, and theorems. Alongside this, you will be introduced to software development and the fundamentals of computer science, where you will gain essential technical knowledge and interdisciplinary skills.Progressing into Year 2, through a range of core and optional modules, you will start to delve deeper into topics across both disciplines, and these include human-computer interaction, software design, advanced linear algebra, AI, cryptography, languages and compilation, security and risk, and stochastic processes. As part of this, you will apply your learning in group projects inspired by real-world challenges. As you return from studying abroad into Year 4, you start to develop your interests through a wide choice of optional modules, customising your degree to suit your career ambitions.**Personal development**You will develop valuable transferable skills such as data analysis, problem-solving and quantitative reasoning, all of which make you highly desirable to future employers. Your practical skills gained in programming, software design and testing prepare you for applications in the real world. These skills combined skills are honed by working in collaboration with fellow students, ruminating on theories and testing them out, delivering presentations and communicating your research results.**A supportive community**To help you transition from A-level to degree-level study, the School of Mathematical Sciences hosts weekly workshops, problem-solving classes, and one-to-one sessions. If you wish to engage with mathematics beyond that, the MathSoc hosts a weekly Maths Cafe that includes access to academic support and a casual space to chat with other students. You will also benefit from being a part of our School of Computing and Communications with access to societies such as LUHack and Women++@InfoLab. There’s also daily support sessions in the FAST Hub run by academics.**3 things our mathematics and computer science students want you to know:**- The multidisciplinary nature of the degree and its industry-led approach opens doors to many different career paths, such as roles in data science, architecture, consultancy, software engineering, and video game development- There’s lots of great spaces to work in, like the InfoLab Sky Lounge or the Science & Technology labs. As well as access to cutting-edge equipment and facilities that are only available for computing students- Both Mathematics and Computer Science are incredibly collaborative disciplines. You will bounce ideas around with experts, or with students from all years. The PhD community has been right where we are, asking the same questions, and there’s even opportunities to talk with them and learn from them**Important Information**For the most up-to-date course information and more details, we recomme
