Develop sound practical and theoretical skills in mathematics and software development, preparing you for roles that involve data analysis, modelling and simulation.
Computer science and mathematics are closely linked. Many of the leading applications of computing are mathematical, and computers are fundamentally logic engines.
This joint degree is for you if you enjoy and excel at computing and 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 relying on a combination of mathematical and computational modelling, such as data analysis and forecasting.
In the first two years, you will study a mix of mathematics and computing units, including computational approaches to finding patterns in data and the generation of computational models. In the second year, you will complete a group project with other students to design and build an interactive application, helping you gain important skills for the professional world. You'll also share lectures with Mathematical Sciences students to study fundamental algebra, statistical modelling, and data analysis.
You can specialise in a particular field through optional units and an individual project, combining your interests in a specific area of numerical computer science and mathematics. You’ll regularly meet with an academic who specialises in your chosen field.
As a student here, you’ll be part of a supportive department, with lots of opportunities to get involved in societies and events such as hackathons, coding competitions and conferences.
The Bath Computer Science Society is a very active society and organises events throughout the year.
Alongside teaching, our academics carry out research in important areas of computer science including artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction, mathematical foundations and visual computing. You’ll have the chance to work alongside them on your own research project.
You will attend a skills development programme during the first and second years of your course. These timetabled sessions focus on developing your understanding of your personal strengths and transferable skills, and how these can be used within industry. The programme includes employer events, where you can learn more about the opportunities available to you when you graduate.
You will have access to purpose-built teaching labs, including a maker lab, allowing you to explore, create, experiment and share software-driven and physical artefact projects in a collaborative workspace context. You will also have access to specialised hardware (for example GPUs) and multiple cloud computing services for the analysis of complex, data-intensive processes. You will have access to most of our specialist labs 24/7.
Our courses offer excellent graduate prospects. Recent roles include Business Analyst, Software Developer, Hardware Engineer and Technology Consultant at companies such as:
Many of our graduates also go on to postgraduate study in preparation for academic or industry-based research careers.
You can learn more about studying computer science at Bath by visiting our Computer science Virtual Experience page to hear from staff and students in the Department.

We understand that you will want to know more about the shape of the academic year. We work hard and plan for different scenarios, to be able to welcome you to the University of Bath at the start of each semester.
This course lasts 3 years. It starts in September 2024 and ends in 2027. Welcome week starts on 23 September 2024.
Occasionally we make changes to our programmes in response to, for example, feedback from students, developments in research and the field of studies, and the requirements of accrediting bodies. You will be advised of any significant changes to the advertised programme, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.
At Bath, our courses are made up of units of study. Compulsory units cover core concepts that you'll need to understand as part of your degree programme. Some of our courses also offer the opportunity for you to study optional units. These allow you to specialise in particular areas of knowledge that interest you.
As an undergraduate, you will be expected to take 120 credits (60 ECTS credits) in each academic year. For Natural Sciences, these will usually be made up of 20 credits in each main subject with the rest made up from a Natural Sciences unit and one additional subject.
120 credits (60 ECTS credits) are the equivalent of 1,200 notional hours of study; this includes contact time with staff and your own independent learning.

Find out more about course optionsYou’ll be taught and assessed by a variety of methods and it will vary between units. These methods are designed to promote in-depth learning and understanding of the subject.
These lists are to give you an idea of some, but not all, of the learning and assessment methods used on this course. They are not exhaustive lists and methods are subject to change.
Timetabled contact hours, which may be made up of lectures, tutorials and laboratory classes, vary throughout your course and between courses but are typically between 10 and 20 hours a week in your first year.
Our teaching for this course is delivered through in-person learning on campus, supported by high quality online provision. The significant majority of contact hours over the duration of your course will be in person, and this will be enhanced by some online delivery which will constitute a smaller proportion of these contact hours, depending on your programme of study, year of study and chosen optional units. This may be supplemented by additional activities such as a small number of online learning sessions (not live), skills development sessions, and personal tutorials.
The amount of timetabled sessions on campus in later years may vary based on the options you choose, with a greater emphasis on independent learning. Project and dissertation units will generally have fewer scheduled sessions to allow you time for your independent work – this may also mean the number of hours of timetabled sessions each week will vary within a year.
In addition to timetabled contact hours, you are expected to undertake independent learning and assessment activities. Typically, this might be around 15 to 30 hours per week in your first year, and include individual research, reading journal articles and books, working on individual and group projects, preparing course working assignments, presentations, or revising for exams. After your first year, the emphasis on independent learning becomes greater, for example in a final year project.
You will be assessed by a range of methods designed to develop and test your skills and knowledge. These include closed and open book examinations, essays, reports and presentations.
As a guide, 60 to 80% of your course will be assessed through examinations, and 20 to 40% through coursework, including practical work. The balance of assessment methods will vary throughout your degree and will depend on your choice of optional units.
You will be expected to complete a project or dissertation in your final year. You will primarily be assessed as an individual but may also be assessed as part of a group.
We can make reasonable adjustments to assessment procedures for students with disabilities, take a look at our Disability Service’s pages for information.

Visit our undergraduate virtual experienceYou will engage with the fundamental concepts of Artificial Intelligence (AI). You will learn the strengths and limitations of a range of AI techniques, and apply these in solving simple problems, including through the implementation of AI algorithms in a relevant programming language while considering the social, legal, and ethical implications of AI.
You will develop core skills in mathematics. You will study algebra and build a firm grounding in the fundamental objects of mathematics such as sets, functions, numbers, polynomials and matrices. You will study analysis to define the notions of convergence and limit. You will develop a solid foundation in probability theory that will facilitate further study in probability and statistics.
You will develop further skills in mathematics. You will study linear algebra, both via matrices and via vector spaces and linear maps, focussing on the most widely applicable aspects. You will examine the theory of continuity for functions of one real variable. You will use continuous random variables and explore statistical modelling and parameter estimation.
You will write programs in a high-level functional computer programming style. You will learn about fundamental programming concepts such as recursion, inductive data structures, and types. No programming background is assumed.
Building on Programming 1, you will learn about the concept of, and write programs in, the object-oriented programming style. You will also learn about and implement advanced programming techniques. Working in a team, you will plan, organise, and implement programs using a modern software engineering paradigm. You will learn about basic data structures and algorithms and implement server-client interaction.
You will explore fundamental models of computation such as finite automata and Turing machines, design algorithms within a given model, and formally prove that a problem cannot be addressed within a given model. You will learn about a variety of data structures and choose an appropriate one for a given problem. You will determine the computational complexity of algorithms and demonstrate their correctness.
You will explore a wide range of fundamental techniques in machine learning, and learn about their strengths and limitations. You will write code and use software libraries to apply these techniques to solve problems in machine learning.
You will work in a team to propose, design, develop, and evaluate a software system, using a modern software process such as agile. You will learn how to gather requirements, specify software, develop models in preparation for writing code, as well as test and evaluate software. You will consider risk management, cyber-security, and other ethical aspects, as well as report on the process and the resulting software.
This unit will develop your knowledge of statistical theory and your ability to apply statistical methods in analysing data. You will use the programming language R to fit models to data and you will develop the skills to interpret and use a fitted model.
This unit will further develop your knowledge of statistical theory and its application in data analysis, with particular focus on the normal linear model.
You will choose 15 credits of Mathematics options from a range of topics based on the research specialisations of the Department of Mathematical Sciences.
