Program Overview

Overview

The world relies on computers and so do most businesses and organisations. Mathematics is the language of computer science so if you have the skills for both you’ll find a whole range of careers available to you in most sectors.

On this single honours course you’ll develop your mathematical and statistical knowledge and apply these skills to solve problems in computing, business and other areas.

Approximately two-thirds of the course is devoted to mathematical and statistical areas. The mathematics subjects on this course focus particularly on aspects of modern algebra that relate to computer science and also include a considerable amount of numerical analysis of mathematical problems. You have the opportunity to specialise in Level 3 so as an example, you may choose modern encryption methods as used in internet transactions.

Follow the four-year Professional Placement degree programme and you‘ll benefit from our extensive experience in helping students to find well-paid work placements with blue-chip companies. Our sandwich students find that their mathematical, computer science and transferable skills are in demand in many sectors, both in the UK and abroad.

Areas recently offering placements include: accountancy, aviation, banking, defence, finance, insurance, IT (software development, network management and design), management (public and private sector), marketing and telecommunications.

This programme will meet the educational requirements of the Chartered Mathematician designation, awarded by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, when it is followed by subsequent training and experience in employment to obtain equivalent competences to those specified by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) for taught master's degrees.

Program Outline

Course content

At Brunel we aim to make your transition into the university style of learning as easy as possible. So in the first few weeks of Level 1 you’ll start your learning in small groups of about 20 students. Approximately two-thirds of the course is devoted to mathematical and statistical subjects and one third to computer science.

An individual piece of course-work will account for one third of Level 3.

You’ll be able to select from a large number of projects covering a wide range of mathematical areas and applications. Your project will be supervised by a staff member. You’ll emphasise real applications or abstract theories, using theoretical and/or computational tools. If you’ve completed a placement you will be able to choose a project associated with your work experience. Examples of project titles are:

The very famous ‘travelling salesman problem’ (also known as ‘the lazy waiter’!);

Simulations of iterated Prisoner’s Dilemma and game theory

The mathematics of complex networks such as the web or Facebook

Applications of statistics to the Premier League, police complaints data and climate change

This course can be studied 3 years full-time or 4 years full-time with placement, starting in September.

This course has a placement option. Find out more about work placements available.

Please note that all modules are subject to change.

Careers and your future

Career prospects for mathematics and computer science are excellent. As nearly all businesses today rely on computers, you’ll find that there are opportunities across all of the sectors in large organisations, the public or charity sector or in SMEs. Maybe you want to pursue a career that specifically uses your mathematical, statistical or computing skills or choose a more general career such as management or consultancy. Either way you’ll possess key skills that are highly sought after by business – in fact any industry that uses modelling, simulation, cryptography, forecasting, statistics, risk analysis and probability.

Our combination of work experience and up-to-date teaching means that you will be well-equipped to follow the career you want after graduation.

These are some of the areas where a maths degree is valued highly:

Finance:

banking, accountancy, actuarial, tax, underwriter, pensions, insurance

Medicine:

medical statistics, medical and epidemiological research, pharmaceutical research

Design:

engineering design, computer games

Science:

biotechnology, meteorology, oceanography, pure and applied research and development

Civil Service:

scientists (‘Fast Stream’, DSTL, DESG), GCHQ, security service, statisticians

Business:

logistics, financial analysis, marketing, market research, sales oil industry, management consultancy, operational research

IT:

Systems analysis, research

Engineering:

aerospace, building design, transport planning, telecommunications, surveying.

Assessment and feedback

The ‘exams to coursework’ ratio is around 50:50 in Level 1, increasing to 70:30 in Level 3.

We base your final degree class on your performance at Levels 2 and 3. Level 3 carries twice the weight of Level 2.

English Language Requirements

All courses at Brunel have an English language requirement. This is listed on your

BrunELT

What level of English do I need?

In general, our courses ask for an English level of between IELTS 6.0 and 7.0 or equivalent. Some courses will have higher requirements (and will require you to also reach minimum sub-scores), so please

check your course page

for the exact level

If you do not meet the required level of English, you can take one of our

pre-sessional courses

What English qualifications does Brunel accept?

English qualifications we currently accept for degree level study include those listed below. We accept a wide range of other qualifications, so if you are unsure please get in touch with us on

What English qualifications do I need if I wish to study English at Brunel before my degree course?

If you need to study English before starting your degree, you should take one of the following tests at

an approved test centre

in order to apply for a Student visa:

IELTS (Academic) for UKVI SELT (minimum of IELTS 4 for overall and sub-scores)

LanguageCert International ESOL SELT (B1 level or above, Pass overall and 33 for each part)

Trinity College Integrated Skills in English (ISE) (Ievel 1 or above, both modules)

Pearson PTE Academic UKVI (43 for each part)

Find out more about exams you can take to obtain a Student visa:

IELTS (Academic) for UKVI,

LanguageCert International ESOL SELT

Trinity College Integrated Skills in English (ISE)

, and

Pearson PTE Academic

. For further details,

I don't need to study English before I start my degree. Do I still need to provide proof of English language?

All international students must show evidence that they meet the English requirement for their course of study. This applies even if English is the native language of your home country. If this is the case, a pass at high school level which is equivalent to GCSE Grade C or above is sometimes acceptable. Please see your

country page

for more information.

If you don't need to study English before your degree and don't have relevant high school qualifications, we can still accept a non-UKVI-approved IELTS from an official test centre with the required scores. However, should you not achieve the required scores for your degree course, you will not be able to use this IELTS to apply for a Tier 4 visa for a pre-sessional English course in the UK. In some circumstances, if you don't have a UKVI IELTS, you may be able to attend an English course with a Short Term Study visa.
