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.
You can complete your BSc in Mathematics with Computing in three or four years. If you choose to do a professional placement or year abroad, this will take place in Year 3, and Year 3 modules will instead be studied in Year 4.

Electives
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Most of your modules will be assessed by an examination worth at least 90 per cent of the year’s study, with the remainder covered by coursework and tests.
Management modules are assessed using a combination of coursework (presentations, assignments, essay report writing, in-class tests, research and project work) and/or examinations in May or June.
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.
You’ll also have access to a purpose-built media suite designed to support student entrepreneurship.
Our standard contextual offer: BBC, including B in Maths at A-Level.
Our enhanced contextual offer: BCC including B in Maths at A-Level.
More information on our contextual offer criteria can be found on our contextualised admissions page.
Please note that General Studies and Critical Thinking are excluded from any A-Level offer and cannot be considered.
We accept a wide range of European and international qualifications in addition to A-levels, the International Baccalaureate and BTEC qualifications. Please visit International Admissions for full details.
If your qualifications are not accepted for direct entry onto this degree, consider applying for a foundation programme.
Find out more about our English language entry requirements, including the types of test we accept and the scores needed for entry to the programme.
You may also be able to meet the English language requirement for your programme by joining a summer pre-sessional programme before starting your degree.
