Computer and Mathematical Sciences
The increasing application of computer technology and analytical methods in both the public and private sectors have made the study of Computer Science and Mathematics or Statistics a starting point for many career paths.
Students complete two majors, which means they study two subject areas in depth for three years. One major must be chosen from Computer Science and Software Engineering or from Mathematics and Statistics (see under Majors Available), and the second major may be in Computing or Mathematics or in almost any other discipline offered by the University, subject to approval by the Faculty.
Majors include:
- Applied Mathematics
- Applied Statistics
- Computation
- Entertainment Technologies
- Mathematical Statistics
- Mathematical Sciences
- Pure Mathematics
- Software Management
- Systems
- Web Technolgies
Career opportunities
Graduates with a major from Computer Science and Software Engineering offer high-level programming skills and experience to a wide variety of computer related occupations. Mathematics graduates and especially those with a background in Statistics and Applied Mathematics have analytical skills which are in demand in a wide range of organisations.
Employment opportunities are available in a wide range of areas depending upon your areas of specialisation. These areas might include:
- Banking, Finance, Option Pricing, Investment Planning, Stock Market Prediction
- Meteorology, Environmental Consulting, Oceanography
- Industrial Research, Operations Research
- Risk Analysis, Statistics, Bio-Informatics
- Insurance, Actuarial Science, Teaching
- Information Technology, Computer Science
- Market Research, Data Analysis
- University Teaching And Research
- Astronomy, Physics, Economics
