This is one of several subject combinations available in our BSc (Honours) Computing & IT and a second subject (Q67). Computing & IT studied with mathematics can open career opportunities in various sectors. You’ll gain a good grounding in mathematical methods, complementing the computing & IT skills you’ll develop. So if you enjoy computing & IT and mathematics, this qualification could suit you well. With an increased emphasis on data and mathematical modelling in recent years, most employment opportunities in mathematics require computing & IT skills. Consequently, graduates with analytical and computing skills are highly sought-after by employers – they can have an advantage over applicants with just one of these skill sets.
