Second Year Discrete Mathematics BSc 2025/26
The objective of the second year course for Discrete Mathematics is to integrate the mathematical and computational perspectives that underpin Discrete Mathematics. The modules provide a broader theoretical base for Discrete Mathematics students, and help to equip them for different kinds of specialisation in the advanced study of discrete structures and algorithms. The core modules cover the areas of combinatorics, graph theory, and the design of algorithm and data structures, as taught jointly in Mathematics and Computer Science.
The normal load is 120 CATS credits. Students are required to take four core modules totalling 55 CATS and further modules selected from the list of optional modules below, including at least 20 CATS credits from List A. List B contains level 2 modules delivered by Computer Science, Mathematics and Statistics.
