You’ll be familiarised with the mathematical, statistical and computational foundations, and you will apply those principles in laboratory sessions⁴ which help solidify your understanding. You will also begin developing the professional skills you will need in your day-to-day career on graduation, e.g. working as part of a team and the ethical and legal issues around data structure and models.

Modules

Calculus - 20 credits

This module provides core calculus for those undertaking degrees in the mathematics area. The primary aims of the module are to consolidate the material covered in the different A levels and equivalent qualifications, and explore some of the advanced concepts needed for an extensive study of mathematics.

Compulsory

Algebra - 20 credits

The aim of the module is two-fold. First, to introduce you to modern algebra by taking what you have already learned and placing it in the context of university mathematics. Emphasis will be given to the importance of assumption and proof in mathematics. Second, you will encounter one of the fundamental pillars of modern mathematics - linear algebra. You will see the key result of the basis theorem, as well as explore the one-to-one correspondence between linear maps and matrices over a field. This will be key for other areas of mathematics you will see in your undergraduate degree.

Compulsory

Programming: Concepts and Algorithms - 20 credits

Whatever software we’re developing, we need to understand the fundamentals of programming in order to build it – that’s as true for an interactive website as it is for a smartphone app. In this module, you’ll be introduced to these fundamentals through an accessible and industry-favoured programming language. You’ll explore algorithms – what they are, why they’re important, and how to use them – and you’ll combine this with your programming skills to write your own programs.

Compulsory

Working with Data - 20 credits

Databases are fundamental to modern, digital life – whatever we’re doing, we’re either generating, using, sharing or erasing data. The technologies, ethics and laws behind these processes are a fascinating and fundamental element of software development in the twenty-first century. In this module, you’ll explore all of these concepts, mastering the elements of data handling, storage and management, which you’ll have to apply in later study.

Compulsory

Programming: Professional Practice - 20 credits

This module builds upon and develops the fundamental computer programming skills you developed in 'Concepts and Algorithms'. You will be introduced to new ideas such as object-orientation, and designing reusable code, and you’ll explore them using another industry-favoured programming language. You’ll be taught to structure your code in a way that makes it easy to follow, maintain, and extend, equipping you for the next stage of your software development studies.

Compulsory

Probability and Statistics - 20 credits

This module builds a foundation for the study of statistics in future years. It will introduce you to the concepts of probability, random variables and probability distributions. It will also introduce the concepts of estimation and hypothesis testing, and will develop the necessary theory, methods and concepts for statistical analysis of data.

Compulsory

In your second year, you will develop more advanced knowledge and skills to do with data science, linear statistical models and artificial intelligence (AI), amongst others.

Modules

Artificial Intelligence - 20 credits

In this module, you’ll gain a comprehensive understanding of modern artificial intelligence concepts and applications. You’ll explore the differing definitions of what ‘artificial intelligence’ means, and the legal and ethical issues which arise surrounding decision-making computer systems. Ultimately, you’ll build a portfolio of solutions that address artificial intelligence challenges, as you navigate areas such as knowledge representation, reasoning and how human factors impact the field of AI.

Compulsory

Linear Algebra and Differential Equations - 20 credits

This module continues linear algebra and differential equations from your first year, with the overlap between the areas emphasised. In both cases, the general goal will be to explore ways in which one can find a ‘suitable basis’ for a given problem. This could include orthonormal bases, bases of eigenvectors or bases of generalised eigenvectors. It will conclude with Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) which will bring together bits of linear algebra seen over this course's first two years. The module will also cover second order Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) (linear, but with non-constant coefficients), systems of first order ODEs, series solutions and self-adjoint operators.

Compulsory

Advanced Algorithms - 20 credits

Building on your programming and algorithms studies from the first year, this module expands your insights into advanced programming techniques and complex data structures. You’ll learn what terms such as ‘graph’ and ‘tree’ mean in computing, and how to use them in your own software development. You’ll become familiar with strategies to address the computational complexity of the problems you’re trying to solve, empowering you to write more sophisticated, and more efficient, software solutions.

Compulsory

Data Science - 20 credits

Picking up where 'Working with Data' left off, the 'Data Science' module equips you with the skills and tools you need to explore the world of big data. Using state-of-the-art software, you’ll explore concepts such as predictive modelling, data wrangling, sampling and analysis. You’ll also explore the complex subject of data visualisation, and how you can use visualisation techniques to make the results of your data analysis understandable to every audience.

Compulsory

Linear Statistical Models - 20 credits

This module will introduce two of the most commonly used statistical techniques, multiple regression and analysis of variance (ANOVA). The statistical inference concepts of hypothesis testing and estimation will be extended within the statistical modelling framework. Statistical computing environments and packages will be used throughout. The methods taught are used extensively in industry, commerce, government, research and development. This module is particularly relevant for those intending to go on placement year, for graduate jobs, and for final year statistics projects. The statistics modules will build on the concepts introduced in this module.

Compulsory

Data Science Group Project - 20 credits

You will gain experience in teamwork, cooperation and project planning. You will also get a better understanding of topics covered earlier in the course, which feeds into the creation of a real-world data science project.
