Computer Science and Mathematics MComp (Hons)

4 years, starting in September 2027

If you enjoy and excel at computing and want to combine that with a very strong interest in mathematics, this degree is for you.

Computer science and mathematics are closely linked. Many of the leading applications of computing are mathematics, and computers are fundamentally logic engines. This joint degree allows you to explore both areas in tandem.

Throughout the course, you will develop sound practical and theoretical skills in mathematics and software development, preparing you for roles that involve data analysis, modelling and simulation.

Recent graduates have gone on to work at Goldman Sachs, Hawk-Eye Innovations and Microsoft and in roles such as Business Analyst, Research and Development Engineer and Software Developer.

Tailor to your interests

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 both optional units and an individual project. You'll regularly meet with an academic who specialises in your field of interest.

Computer science master's

The MComp provides you with the same core skills and knowledge as the BSc but with greater exposure to, and integration with, our research groups in the Department.

You’ll study master's-level units and carry out a major research project, giving you ideal preparation for postgraduate study or a research career.

Extracurricular support and activities

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.

Put your learning into practice

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.

Read student case studies and reports on our latest research.

Develop your professional skills

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.

Use specialist facilities

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. You can see some of our facilities in this guided tour of the Department .

Get ready for your future career

Our courses offer excellent graduate prospects. Recent roles include Business Analyst, Software Developer, Hardware Engineer and Technology Consultant at companies such as:

Hewlett Packard Enterprise
Google
Goldman Sachs
Met Office
Sony Interactive Entertainment

Many of our graduates also go on to postgraduate study in preparation for academic or industry-based research careers.

Units

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. Credits are usually split evenly across your two semesters of study. 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.

All credits displayed on this page are ECTS credits.

Learning and assessment

You’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.

Learning

Assessment

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.

Learning and teaching

Contact hours

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.

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 or study and chosen optional units.

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.

Independent learning

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.

Assessment breakdown

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, 50 to 70% of your course will be assessed through examinations, and 30 to 50% through coursework, including practical work. The balance of assessment methods will vary throughout your degree and will depend on your choice of optional units.

In your final year, you will be expected to complete a project or dissertation. 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.

Recognition of professional qualifications

As well as being recognised as a higher academic qualification, a number of our degrees are also accredited by professional bodies in the United Kingdom. An accredited degree may entitle you to work in a specific profession within the UK, and abroad (where there are reciprocating arrangements with professional bodies in other countries).

The requirements to practise a profession vary from country to country. If you wish to practise your profession outside the United Kingdom, you are advised to confirm that the UK professional qualification you seek is valid in the country in which you are intending to work.

Entry requirements

Selection

Our Computer Science and Mathematics courses are extremely popular and places are limited - admissions for this course is highly selective. We cannot guarantee you an offer of a place even if you meet or exceed our typical entry requirements.

We consider your whole application rather than any one factor when making selection decisions, focusing on:

Your previous academic achievements (such as GCSEs)
Your predicted or achieved grades in most recent study
Your subjects studied at A level (or equivalent)
Your personal statement

All factors are important - having strong predicted grades alone will not necessarily secure you an offer.

Find out more about our selection process for A level students

If you study qualifications other than A levels the same principles will usually apply but we may consider them differently. For example, previous academic achievements may be less relevant if you are studying a broader baccalaureate- style qualification like the IB Diploma or French Baccalaureate.

We will not usually consider alternative or supplementary personal statements for this course- your application will be assessed based on the personal statement you submit through UCAS only. If you are applying to multiple subject areas across your UCAS choices, your personal statement will need to be relevant for Computer Science.

Support

Having a diverse student body is very important to us and we aim to admit students with the greatest potential to succeed, regardless of background or circumstances. We also know that the context in which you study can impact your ability to perform your best, or limit which subjects or qualifications you are able to study. We consider any application based on its merits, including your background and circumstances, including through:

our contextual admissions process
our approach to considering mitigating circumstances

When you may hear

We aim to make decisions for applicants as soon as possible.

We take our responsibility to be fair to all applicants seriously, and as a result many decisions need to wait until we have assessed all applications received by the UCAS equal consideration deadline in January.

While a small number of offers will be made between October and January, most offers will be made in February and March.
