MComp Computer Science with Mathematics

Comments about MComp Computer Science with Mathematics - At the institution - Sheffield - South Yorkshire

• Objectives
  Students are taught to understand the theoretical principles underlying a problem, and to be able to engineer a solution. Students are also led to a real understanding of the practical issues involved in the development of reliable and effective software systems in a business or industrial context. As well as learning to program, and to think analytically, you will be encouraged to develop your abilities to work in a team and to communicate effectively. Computer Science with Mathematics dual degrees are particularly appropriate for those students with an interest in mathematics, but who also wish to be involved in a subject with practical relevance.
