This joint degree offers the opportunity to combine an appreciation of mathematical reasoning with an understanding of computing. Mathematics is a fundamental intellectual tool in computing, but computing is increasingly used as a key component in mathematical problem-solving. The course concentrates on areas where mathematics and computing are most relevant to each other, emphasising the bridges between theory and practice. It offers opportunities for potential computer scientists both to develop a deeper understanding of the mathematical foundations of their subject, and to acquire a familiarity with the mathematics of application areas where computers can solve otherwise intractable problems. It also gives mathematicians access to both a practical understanding of the use of computers and a deeper understanding of the limits on the use of computers in their own subject.

A Level: A*A*A | With the A*s in Mathematics and Further Mathematics if available. Excluding General Studies (if taken). | Scottish Higher: {'start': ['A', 'A', 'A', 'A', 'B', None], 'end': ['A', 'A', 'A', 'A', 'A', None]} | Supplemented by two or more Advanced Highers. | Access to HE Diploma: 45 UCAS points | Access to HE Diploma | Access to HE Diploma | Some Access courses allow students to take one or two A-levels as part of the course. This option is strongly recommended for students who wish to apply to Oxford, especially for those courses which have specific subject requirements. If you would like to discuss the suitability of your Access course for entry to Oxford University, please contact the subject department that you’d like to apply to for further information. (Contact details are at ox.ac.uk/courses) | Scottish Advanced Higher: {'start': ['A', 'A', None, None], 'end': ['A', 'A', 'B', None]} | Including A in Mathematics. Conditional offers will usually be for AAB if a student is able to take three Advanced Highers; where this is not possible then a student would be expected to achieve AA in two Advanced Highers, as well as an A grade in an additional Higher course taken in Year 6. | International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme: 39 UCAS points | with 7 6 6 at HL, including 7 in HL Mathematics | Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma (first teaching from September 2016): {'start': ['D*D*D*'], 'end': ['DDD']} | Conditional offers would usually be: Extended Diploma with D*D*D to DDD, depending on the course. Diploma with DD plus an A grade at A-level, possibly with one or two * grades, depending on the course. Subsidiary Diploma with D plus two A grades at A-level, possibly with one or two * grades, depending on the course. | Leaving Certificate - Higher Level (Ireland) (first awarded in 2017): H1H1H2H2H2H2 | Cambridge International Pre-U Certificate - Principal: D2D3D3 | Pre-U subject requirements are the same as those for A-levels.
