The five year MEng Software Engineering degree is an integrated Masters programme, which augments the first three years of the BSc Computer Science with the professional skills necessary for constructing robust, secure systems. Students spend the start of the fifth year on a paid industrial placement.

Scientific developments are possible due to mathematical applications while mathematical models inform decisions in industry, government, and within economics.

Our course combines both pure and application-driven mathematics. By the time you finish your degree, you will be able to use maths to solve practical problems. You'll explore the relationship between mathematical modelling and economics. You'll also examine how societies attempt to make the best use of their scarce resources.

Advising on investment, production and prices are decisions that people might associate with economists, but they are increasingly asked to advise on:
