Bachelor of Science in Mathematical and Computer Sciences

Double major

A Double Major programme combining a strong mathematical foundation with in-depth knowledge of computer science.

This programme is run jointly by the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (SPMS) and the College of Computing and Data Science (CCDS)

Students are provided with strong foundations in the two majors (Mathematical Sciences and Computer Science), coupled with specialised training in one of four areas at the interface of Mathematical Sciences and Computer Science: Theoretical Computer Science, Cryptography and Cybersecurity, Financial Modelling, and Data Science.

Graduates of the programme are well equipped to work in the rapidly developing fields of financial technology, cybersecurity, and data analytics. They are also well positioned for postgraduate degrees in mathematics, computer science, and related disciplines.
