Overview
Combine your passion for mathematics with the power of computing to shape our future.
Mathematics provides the theoretical framework and essential tools for approaching complex problems, while computing offers the practical expertise to put these solutions into action. Together these two disciplines drive innovation and transform the world around us.
Even though technology continues to change, the mathematics behind innovations will stay the same. Studying with us, you’ll gain an understanding of the logic that underpins computing and programming, helping you understand systems and technologies as they evolve.
Our blend of theoretical and practical training will help you develop the ultimate skillset for careers in finance, tech and data science, among others.

Study options
Apply for this degree with any of the following options. Take care to use the correct UCAS code - it may not be possible to change your selection later.
Integrated foundation year
Students who do not have the required high school qualifications for admission to this degree and students who do not meet their UCAS conditional offer may be considered for the 4-year degree (foundation year plus the 3-year degree).
International students with Year 12 or a completed international high school certificate qualify for the one-year foundation programme commonly known as the ISEFP.
The foundation programme offers a range of transferable skills and an opportunity to improve on your knowledge content for relevant Maths and Science subjects.
You will enrol on a Mathematics BSc with Foundation which will offer progression to a range of degrees in the School of Mathematical Sciences including BSc Mathematics with Computing. At the end of the foundation programme, students will be required to meet the progression requirements for admission to BSc Mathematics with Computing.
Professional Placement
Apply for our Mathematics with Computing BSc with Professional Placement to spend a year carrying out paid work as part of your degree. As well as helping you to stand out from the crowd and secure graduate employment, a placement is an excellent opportunity to develop your mathematical, computational and data science skills, and put your learning into context.
Year abroad
Go global and study abroad as part of your degree – apply for our Mathematics with Computing BSc with a Year Abroad. Queen Mary has links with universities across the globe, including North America, Asia and Australia (partnerships vary for each degree programme).

You can do either a year in a professional placement or a year abroad - you cannot combine these options.
Teaching
Teaching and learning
You’ll learn through lectures and tutorials, and in exercise classes where students work together on problems, discuss ideas and ask questions. Many computing modules have a practical element, presented in one of our computer labs.
Formal teaching time typically takes up 16 hours each week. You’ll also be expected to complete additional hours of independent study.
Assessment
We use a wide range of assessment methods, including examinations (typically contributing 60% and 80% of the module mark), individual and group projects, computer-based assessments and oral presentations. Students also complete a final-year project, giving them the opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills to a research or industry-focussed problem.
Resources and facilities
The School of Mathematical Sciences has invested £18m to create an inspiring, collaborative space for our community of students and staff. The building includes high-quality teaching rooms, private and group study areas and a new social hub.
