This MEng is aimed at a small cohort of students with strong mathematical ability. The programme focuses on theoretical computer science and equips you with the ability to model complex systems and represent, manipulate, and analyse the vast amounts of data and knowledge required to solve massively complex problems.

In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 15 or 30 credits, adding up to a total of 120 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional modules varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 30-credit module is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).

The programme will cover a wide range of mathematical topics underpinning the analysis of computational systems including logic, discrete mathematics, information theory, probability and statistics. With this foundation, you will investigate methods for representing, manipulating and reasoning with the vast amounts of data and knowledge available to modern computers. The mathematical content is deeper and more substantial than in our other computer science programmes. Practical problem-solving will mesh with this deeper theoretical work, and you will also take part in regular reading groups and seminars solely for Mathematical Computation students.

In the third and final years you may choose from a wide range of specialist options including game theory, artificial intelligence, graph theory, evolutionary computation, machine learning, dynamical systems and cryptography.

In the final year you will produce a dissertation in a subject of your choice.

Upon successful completion of 480 credits, you will be awarded a MEng (Hons) in Mathematical Computation.
