    institution

    Queen’s University Belfast

    Queen’s University Belfast was first known as the Queen’s University in Ireland. It received its Royal Charter from Queen Victoria in 1845. From the very beginning it was a non-denominational institution, and was intended as an alternative to Trinity College Dublin, which was specifically an Anglican institution. This early incarnation of the University was composed […]

    Course Summary

    Queen’s University Mathematics and Computer Science MSci is a joint program delivered by the School of Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science as well as the School of Mathematics and Physics. Many of the mathematics courses are taught by leading academics in that field, so expect many of them to deal with truly cutting edge concepts, especially at the higher levels.

    Note that the first 2 years of this program are virtually identical to that of the BSc in mathematics, and it may be possible to transfer between the BSc and MSci programs early in the process.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.

    Course Outline

    Year 1:

    Your first year in the Mathematics and Computer Science MSci program will take a core of mathematics modules as well as a selection of modules chosen from the Computer Science curriculum with guidance from academic staff.

    Year one core modules include:

    • Numbers, Vectors and Matrices
    • Mathematical Reasoning
    • Mathematical Modelling
    • Analysis and Calculus

    Year 2 Modules:

    • Theory of Computation
    • Software Development
    • Professional Computing Practice
    • Numerical Analysis
    • Linear Algebra
    • Group Theory
    • Fluid Mechanics
    • Elementary Number Theory
    • Data Structures Algorithms and Programming Language
    • Classical Mechanics
    • Analysis

    Year 3:

    At this point, the BSc and MSci mathematics curriculums divide substantially. You have a wide range of optional courses to choose from, including both mathematics and CS content:

    • Set Theory
    • Ring Theory
    • Partial Differential Equations

    • Computer Algebra
    • Artificial Intelligence
    • Algebraic Equations

    Year 4:

    In addition to the elective module options listed below, 4th year student can take a double-weighted module in which they can study a cutting-edge aspect of mathematics alongside a leading researcher in that field. Other module options include:

    • Topology
    • Statistical Mechanics
    • Rings and Modules
    • Practical Methods for Partial Differential Equations
    • Mathematical Methods for Quantum Information Processing
    • Integration Theory
    • Information Theory
    • Functional Analysis
    • Algorithms: Analysis and Application
    • Algebraic Topology
    • Advanced Software Engineering
    • Advanced Quantum Theory
    • Advanced Mathematical Methods

    Learning & Teaching

    The learning and teaching methods used in this degree program are intended to foster innovation and curiosity as well as the attitudes and perspectives which will allow graduates to contribute to two very exciting, dynamic fields of study. In addition to lectures, tutorials and self-directed study, students will participate in a range of supervise projects.

    Career Possiblities

    Graduates of Queen’s University’s Mathematics and Computer Science MSci program have gone on to forge impressive careers in Management Consultancy, the Civil Service and Export Marketing. Others have found roles in banking, finance, teaching and research on the academic or commercial levels.

    Entry Credit

    Entry Requirements for UK and EU-nationals

    Queen’s University Belfast’s Biological Sciences MSc program typically requires applicants to have 3 A Levels at AAA including Mathematics, or A*AB, so long as Mathematics was scored at A*.

    Entry Requirements for overseas (non-EU) students

    International students must be fluent in written and spoken English. This can be demonstrated with an IELTS score of 6.5 overall (and no segment scoring below 5.5), or one of a number of equivalent qualifications.

    They must also have academic accreditation equivalent to that required for UK and EU students. Details can be found here.
