Finances for studying abroad on exchange
Acquire a rare and valuable combination of skills from top experts across two Queen Mary schools.
The programme, taught jointly with the School of Mathematical Sciences, provides a solid grounding in both fields. You’ll cover core topics in mathematics, including calculus, probability and linear algebra. In computer science, you’ll gain practical skills in software development and interface design, underpinned by a strong grasp of the fundamental principles of IT.
You can choose option modules from across mathematics and computer science, including computer graphics, artificial intelligence, number theory and chaos. Take an equal balance of modules from each school, or steer your studies more towards one discipline.
In the final year, you’ll design an individual project based on your own interests and linked to current research areas, such as security, big data, computer gaming, interaction design, machine learning, pervasive computing, theoretical computer science, social network analysis or digital audio.
You can complete your Computer Science and Mathematics degree in three or four years. If you choose to do a year in industry or study abroad, this will take place in Year 3 and Year 3 modules will instead be studied in Year 4.
Please note that all modules are subject to change.

You can do either a year in industry or a year abroad - you cannot combine these options.
I enjoyed learning and utilising all of the different technologies such as programming languages and technological concepts such as algorithms. Also, I enjoyed the group work in laboratory sessions and coursework.
You’ll spend 15 to 20 hours per week in lectures, laboratory sessions and tutorials. You will also be expected to complete additional hours of independent study. You’ll meet with your personal adviser regularly to ensure that you are settling in and progressing well.
Assessment typically includes a combination of coursework (presentations, assignments, essay report writing, in-class tests, research and project work) and/or examinations in May or June.
Individual and group projects are assessed through a written report, practical demonstration and oral examination.
The schools offer excellent on-campus resources to aid your studies, including informatics teaching laboratory with more than 300 PCs running Linux and Windows.
The School of Mathematical Sciences is being transformed in a £19m project which will bring our students new high-quality teaching rooms, plentiful private and group study areas, and a welcoming social hub.
Alternative offers may be made to applicants taking the Extended Project Qualification.
