Computer Science/Mathematics (Equal) (Yr in Ind)

University of York

Study both computer science and maths in this combined course. The skills you gain from both disciplines will make you highly employable across a range of sectors. Adding a year in industry will help cement your skills in a professional context.Computer science is founded upon maths, and the study of the two together allows you to explore topics core to both while gaining an insight into how they intersect. Maths influences computer science, from designing and analysing efficient computer programs to developing formal proofs that a piece of software does what was intended. This is especially important, for example, if the software is being used to fly a plane. Increasingly computer science is also being used to find solutions to mathematical issues. Computers are used to solve long-standing mathematical problems, as they can help visualise complex numerical data, search for solutions, and make number manipulation faster.
