An overview of the course structure is provided below. Details of the compulsory elements of the course are provided in the Course components section of this page.
The course is taught over one year from October to September, comprising three 10-week terms and a fourth summer term.
The first term covers core material using lectures, tutorials and practical work, and aims to ensure that students achieve the core knowledge of the principles and practice of pharmacology. At the end of the term, you will sit a computer-based qualifying exam passing this exam allows you to continue the course.

COMPUTER SCIENCE

Computer science is about understanding computer systems and networks at a deep level. You will use your understanding of mathematical reasoning to reason rigorously about the behaviours of computer programmes and systems.
This course concentrates on creating links between theory and practice, covering a wide variety of software and hardware technologies and their applications.

If you enjoy mathematical problem-solving, would like to learn about computing, but also have wider interests in life and the universe - for example what AI can teach us about ourselves, how it will impact on the world, or how we should react to these huge changes - then this degree might be for you!

Step into one of today’s fastest-growing fields. This degree equips you with the skills to protect digital systems, investigate breaches, and understand the human, technical, and legal aspects of cyber security. You’ll study networking, cyber defence and digital forensics, learning how systems can be both built and broken. Alongside technical expertise, you’ll develop the critical thinking needed to anticipate threats, design solutions, and respond to incidents. Whether you see yourself as a security analyst, forensic investigator or consultant, this degree opens doors across all sectors.

This joint degree offers the opportunity to combine an appreciation of mathematical reasoning with an understanding of computing.
Mathematics is a fundamental intellectual tool in computing, but computing is increasingly used as a key component in mathematical problem-solving.
The course concentrates on areas where mathematics and computing are most relevant to each other, emphasising the bridges between theory and practice.
