Maths and computer science at uni

Hi.
I’m interested in doing maths and comp sci at uni too. I’m only in year 11 though so I haven’t properly decided yet. What unis are you interested in

I’m not 100% sure, I’ll probably apply for Oxford and imperial has good maths and computer science courses and was just looking at Durham which has a natural science course and you can choose maths and computer science as your options.
Still looking though as there’s lots out there
What have you taken for gcse? I assume computer science, if so how many girls are in your class??

Hi, before applying to Oxford/Imperial I should warn you that math+computer science is by far more competitive than just maths or just computer science. Every person I know who nearly or got a place for this course in these universities would easily get a place for single courses (maths or computer science). A lot of statistics that you can find online will most likely be unrelatable to an actual situation as people applying for Mathematics and Computer Science joined course course would have grades A*A*A* or above. I know very little people who didn't have it but still managed to get an interview. Obviously that's not a reason not to apply there but be ready to get a rejection no matter how good you think you are.

Hey just reaching out to see if anyone is doing/interested in studying maths and computer science at uni.
I am in sixth form and strongly considering it so would love to talk to people feeling the same way or with experience of it

Hi! I've just finished my first year of Computer Science at Heriot-Watt University and I've loved it so far. I think in general if you are drawn to puzzle solving you'll like computer science obviously there is more to it than that but the basis of liking to dissect a problem and find the best solution for it will really help you out with the coding side of the subject. For me as well I really love it as it's quite heavily coursework based which is great as exams can be a little stressful sometimes.

I also saw you asking about how many girls in classes. This changes each year of course and thankfully it generally is increasing. In my year I couldn't tell you exactly how many as it's quite a big course but I'm friends with 7 which i think is most of us. But i wouldn't let this put you off. Heriot has a women in stem society is which is really great for meeting for girls who do similar subjects to you and this society also brings in women currently working in the industry to give talks and bring insight onto what it's like for them.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask!
