I would say overall, the Comp Sci course at Warwick is more mathsy than others, but I think coming from a background of such string CS, I don't think it would be an issue for you.
I did maths as my undergrad at Warwick, which I found much more difficult than my masters in CS, but I think I'm a very applied maths person, and the Warwick course is very pure, so that kind of added to the difficulty of an already very difficult course.
From my experience, the most maths based modules are: Algorithmic Game Theory, Quantum Computing, Quantum Complexity, Agent Based Systems and Computational Biology. With Computational Biology and Quantum Computing generally being known as the hardest modules.
The compulsory modules don't require too much maths, there's a module called Foundations of Computing that has a maths based assignment (1 programming, 1 on algorithms and 1 maths/ stats based), but it's taught really well as is largely logic and stats based. Apart from that, you can chose the more coding based modules such as High Performance Computing, Image and Video Analysis, Data Mining, Foundations of Data Analytics, Sensor Networks and Mobile Data Communications, Advanced Computer Security, Social Informatics and Natural Language Processing. So still lots to choose from!
In most of the more coding style modules, you are expected to know the theoretical aspects of models, eg. of SVM (including gradient descent), Naive Bayes (Bayes stats stuff) and Neural Networks (so partial differential equations used fairly heavily).
The year works out 1/3 coursework, 1/3 exams and 1/3 dissertation on average.
Any other questions, feel free to ask. Hope this helps!
