Develop your mathematical knowledge, gain key computational skills, and join the growing technological industry with our BSc Mathematics and Computer Science degree. Your degree will meet the requirements of the Chartered Mathematician designation, awarded by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (when followed by subsequent training and experience in employment in order to obtain equivalent competences to those specified by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) for taught master's degrees).Gain desirable and in-demand skills across two disciplines and develop a thorough grounding in computer science, backed up by your in-depth mathematical knowledge. With learning roughly split into two-thirds mathematics and one-third computer science, this flexible, industry-relevant degree - located in the heart of the UK's digital technology sector - aims to prepare you for a wide range of careers.You'll join the University of Reading's Department of Mathematics and Statistics, where 98% of our research is world leading or internationally excellent and 100% of our research impact has been classed outstanding or very considerable (REF 2021, combining 4* and 3* submissions – Mathematical Sciences). On this course, topics of study will include: calculus; linear algebra; differential equations; and numerical analysis.Support for the transition to university-level mathematics will be provided through small-group tutorials, seminars and events. You will also be encouraged to get involved with the Department's Staff Student Forums and the Student Teaching and Learning Group.Your degree will meet the requirements of the Chartered Mathematician designation, awarded by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (when followed by subsequent training and experience in employment in order to obtain equivalent competences to those specified by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) for taught master's degrees).This degree includes an integrated, year-long work placement between your second and final year. Both the Department of Mathematics and Statistics and the Department of Computer Science have strong industry links, ensuring that our students are regularly offered fantastic placement, work experience and career opportunities. Our dedicated placements officer can offer advice and support to find your ideal placement, as well as developing your CV and interview skills.For more information, please visit the programme page: https://www.reading.ac.uk/ready-to-study/study/subject-area/mathematics-ug/bsc-mathematics-with-computer-science-with-a-placement-year
