Entry requirements
A level
A*AA in three A levels including Mathematics and Further Mathematics We also make alternative offers including STEP, MAT or TMUA or additional study such as an EPQ or fourth A level subject. These are listed in the separate "Alternative offer" section. If you are studying A levels we strongly prefer that you take a full A level in Further Mathematics. Alternative offers are available if you have only studied Further Mathematics at AS level or have not studied it at all. If you are taking a GCE A level in a science subject, you will need to pass any separate science practical endorsement. Alternative Offer: Most of our students will join us with three A levels, but you may have study beyond this (such as a project qualification) which demonstrates your individual talents that will help you with your degree. We recognise these studies through our alternative offers. AAA in three A levels including Mathematics and Further Mathematics plus one of: grade 2 in any STEP Merit in the GCE AEA in Mathematics a suitable score in the MAT or TMUA grade A in an EPQ grade B in the Welsh Baccalaureate Challenge Certificate grade B in a fourth A level If you receive an offer for this course and are studying one of these qualifications you will be given both the typical and alternative offer. If you are taking a GCE A level in a science subject, you will need to pass any separate science practical endorsement. Alternative Offer: A*AA plus AS Further Maths A*AA in three A levels including A in Mathematics plus A in AS Further Mathematics plus grade 2 in any STEP, a Merit in the GCE AEA in Mathematics or a suitable score in the MAT or TMUA. If you are taking a GCE A level in a science subject, you will need to pass any separate science practical endorsement. Alternative Offer: A*AA in three A levels including A* in Mathematics and A in a second scientific or quantitative subject plus grade 2 in any STEP, Merit in the GCE AEA in Mathematics or a suitable score in the MAT or TMUA. If you are taking a GCE A level in a science subject, you will need to pass any separate science practical endorsement.
Cambridge International Pre-U Certificate - Principal
D2, D3, D3 in three principal subjects including Mathematics and Further Mathematics. Alternative offer: Most of our students will join us with three principal subjects, but you may have study beyond this (such as a Global Perspectives course) which demonstrates your individual talents that will help you with your degree. We recognise these studies through our alternative offers. D3, D3, D3 in three principal subjects including Mathematics and Further Mathematics plus one of: grade 2 in any STEP Merit in the GCE AEA in Mathematics a suitable score in the MAT or TMUA grade M1 in Cambridge Pre-U Global Perspectives grade A in an EPQ grade B in the Welsh Baccalaureate Advanced Challenge Certificate grade M1 in a fourth principal subject If you receive an offer for this course and are studying one of these qualifications you will be given both the typical and alternative offer (including any mathematics tests).
International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme
36 points overall and either 7, 6, 6 in three Higher Level subjects including 6 in Mathematics: Analysis & Approaches or 7, 6, 5 in three Higher Level subjects including 7 in Mathematics: Analysis & Approaches. In exceptional circumstances we may be able to consider you if you study Higher Level Mathematics: Applications & Interpretations. Please contact [email protected] for further advice before you apply.
Scottish Advanced Higher
AA in Advanced Highers including Mathematics. We make offers based on Advanced Highers. You will typically be expected to have completed five Scottish Highers and your grades in these will be considered as part of your application. We prefer applicants who have achieved AAAAA in their Highers.

About this course
Develop skills in mathematics and theoretical computer science, preparing you for roles that involve computational analysis, modelling and simulation.
This joint degree is for you if you enjoy and excel at computing but want to combine that with a very strong interest in mathematics.
By combining our computer science degree with pure mathematics, probability and statistics, you’ll be prepared for careers in data science that rely on a combination of mathematical and computational modelling.
In the first two years, you’ll study a mix of mathematics and computing units, including computational approaches to finding patterns in data and the generation of computational models. You will also share lectures with Mathematical Sciences students to study fundamental algebra and mathematical analysis. In the final year, you can choose to specialise in areas of numerical computer science and mathematics.
Computer scientists with good mathematical knowledge are in great demand worldwide. On graduation, you can apply what you’ve learnt to roles in software development that rely on a combination of mathematical and computational modelling, such as data analysis and forecasting.
If you want a more in-depth study experience, you could consider applying for our MComp Computer Science and Mathematics course.

What are graduates doing after six months?
This is what graduates told us they were doing (and earning), shortly after completing their course. We've crunched the numbers to show you if these immediate prospects are high, medium or low, compared to those studying this subject/s at other universities.
Top job areas of graduates
Want to feel needed? This is one of the most flexible degrees of all and with so much of modern work being based on data, there are options everywhere for maths graduates. With all that training in handling figures, it's hardly surprising that a lot of maths graduates go into well-paid jobs in the IT or finance industries, and last year, a maths graduate in London could expect a very respectable average starting salary of £27k. And we're always short of teachers in maths, so that is an excellent option for anyone wanting to help the next generation. And if you want a research job, you'll want a doctorate — and a really good maths doctorate will get you all sorts of interest from academia and finance — and might secure some of the highest salaries going for new leavers from university.

Top job areas of graduates
This is a newly-classified subject area for this kind of data, so we don’t currently have very much information to display or analyse yet. The subject is linked to important and growing computing industries, and over time we can expect more students to study them — there could be opportunities that open up for graduates in these subjects as the economy develops over the next few years.
What about your long term prospects?
Looking further ahead, below is a rough guide for what graduates went on to earn.

This information is from the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA).
You can use this to get an idea of who you might share a lecture with and how they progressed in this subject, here. It's also worth comparing typical A-level subjects and grades students achieved with the current course entry requirements; similarities or differences here could indicate how flexible (or not) a university might be.

Post-six month graduation stats:
This is from the Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education Survey, based on responses from graduates who studied the same subject area here.
It offers a snapshot of what grads went on to do six months later, what they were earning on average, and whether they felt their degree helped them obtain a 'graduate role'. We calculate a mean rating to indicate if this is high, medium or low compared to other universities.

The Longitudinal Educational Outcomes dataset combines HRMC earnings data with student records from the Higher Education Statistics Agency.
While there are lots of factors at play when it comes to your future earnings, use this as a rough timeline of what graduates in this subject area were earning on average one, three and five years later. Can you see a steady increase in salary, or did grads need some experience under their belt before seeing a nice bump up in their pay packet?
