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.
The Master of Computing (MComp) course provides you with the same core skills and knowledge of the BSc but with a special exposure to research topics and methods.

Standard Qualification Requirements
A*AA in three A levels including A*A in Mathematics and Further Mathematics.
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 -
A*AB in three A levels including A*A in 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 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.
AS Level Further Maths: A*AA in three A levels including A* in Mathematics plus A in AS Level Further Mathematics plus grade 2 in any STEP , Merit in the GCE AEA in Mathematics or a suitable score in the MAT or TMUA.
No A Level Further Maths: A*A*A 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.
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.
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 admissions@bath.ac.uk for further advice before you apply.
D2, D3, D3 in three principal subjects including D2, D3 in Mathematics and Further Mathematics.
GSCE requirements: GCSE English grade C or 4.
