The School of Information Systems, Computing and Mathematics
The School of Information Systems, Computing and Mathematics is a stimulating environment in which to study and it is internationally recognised for the high quality of its teaching and research. Within the School, staff actively contribute to cutting-edge research that directly informs undergraduate and postgraduate courses. In this way we ensure that our graduates are ideally prepared to meet the challenges of modern society. We achieve this by having excellent staff who are committed to delivering teaching and research of the highest quality.
At both undergraduate and postgraduate level we offer a range of programmes reflecting the modern needs of the disciplines. We are sure that prospective students will find courses to meet their requirements. We also offer a very strong PhD programme with over 150 PhD students.
The School comprises two departments:
- The Department of Information Systems and Computing (DISC)
- The Department of Mathematical Sciences
