BSc (Hons) Computer Science with Mathematics with Foundation Year

About your course Develop sound practical and theoretical skills in computer science and mathematics About the Foundation Year The Foundation Year is ideal if you have the ability to study for a degree but don't have the qualifications to enter directly onto the Computer Science with Mathematics Joint Honours degree programme. Once you pass the Foundation Year you will progress directly onto the first year of the honours degree. If you are a full-time UK student, you will qualify for student financial support for the full duration of your course (subject to eligibility criteria). About the BSc (Hons) Computer Science with Mathematics degree You will gain the required academic and theoretical skills to pursue a career in computer science plus advanced practical skills relating to the theory, practice, tools and applications of contemporary software technologies. You will also secure an understanding of architectures, frameworks and strategies for building software computer systems, should you wish to seek a career in software development, for example. On the other side of the programme, you will develop a firm understanding of the mathematical principles that underpin computer science. The two subject areas are so closely linked that studying them both side by side will only enhance and deepen your understanding. You will have access to industry-standard facilities, including nine specialist teaching laboratories, with over 400 workstations, featuring high specifications and the latest software and specialist applications. Our state-of-the-art facilities in Computer Science, with the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) commended teaching and staff support, will enable you to gain the necessary practical, technical and analytical skills required of a Computer Science professional. Why choose a joint honours degree? Flexibility : Study two subject areas without committing to one path from the outset. Employability: A joint honours degree can make you more attractive to employers because it shows you're flexible, multi-skilled, and able to learn new things. Cross-discipline application: You can apply what you learn in one module to another. Why study computing at LJMU? The School of Computer Science and Mathematics is highly rated for its research in computing and the science behind systems. This research directly informs what you will study on the degree. In addition, the Department has extensive links with industry, and regularly hosts guest speakers from industry and an invited industry advisory panel. Our graduates enjoy excellent career prospects thanks to our extensive links with hundreds of international, national and local organisations, from industries such as tech companies, financial services, pharmaceuticals, aerospace and defence, healthcare, retail, government and local government agencies and telecommunications. Such links also help ensure that students enjoy excellent work-related learning and paid placement opportunities throughout their
