Overview
The Mathematics and Foundations of Computer Science course at the University of Oxford, is suitable for those who wish to pursue research in pure mathematics (especially algebra, number theory, combinatorics, general topology and their computational aspects), mathematical logic, or theoretical computer science. It is also suitable for students wishing to enter industry with an understanding of mathematical and logical design and concurrency.
Supervision
The allocation of graduate supervision for this course is the responsibility of the Mathematical Institute and/or the Department of Computer Science and it is not always possible to accommodate the preferences of incoming graduate students to work with a particular member of staff. Under exceptional circumstances a supervisor may be found outside the Mathematical Institute and/or the Department of Computer Science.
Graduate destinations
Graduates pursue careers in research into mathematics and/or computer science or industry.
Programme Structure
Courses include:
- The mathematical side concentrates on areas where computers are used, or which are relevant to computer science, namely algebra, general topology, number theory, combinatorics and logic. Examples from the computing side include computational complexity, concurrency, and quantum computing. Students take a minimum of five options and write a dissertation.
The course will consist of examined lecture courses and a written dissertation. The lecture courses will be divided into two sections:
- Section A: Mathematical Foundations
- Section B: Applicable Theories
