Benefits of a combined degree

A combined degree means that you can achieve two qualifications in one go. You will have the advantage of graduating with two degrees, in less time than it would take to complete them separately.

After four years of full time study, you will graduate with two degree qualifications - study them separately and it can take up to six years full-time. The variety in this degree means you can satisfy your interest in mathematics and computer science simultaneously.

Combining Mathematics and Computer Science gives you a breadth of professional and academic qualities, opening up a broad range of career options and making you highly desirable to employers.

There are some special requirements with combined degrees. You must undertake a program of study that incorporates the requirements for each individual degree.
