About the School
Welcome to the School of Computing and Mathematical Sciences web site.
Our site contains details of undergraduate and postgraduate courses provided by the School for individuals wishing to extend their professional development and thereby their career opportunities.
It also provides information about our research and consultancy activities and the facilities available for students.
The School of Computing and Mathematical Sciences is an extremely successful part of the university and is recognised both nationally and internationally for its cutting edge research and its innovative approach to curriculum development.
The School has
pioneered degree programmes in Computing, Information Systems,
Digital & Multimedia Technology, Interactive Multimedia Games, Networking,
Internet and Web Technologies, Data Mining, Mathematics, Statistics,
Decision Science and Computational Science and Engineering. Our
research record is outstanding, focusing on practical and important
real-life problems. Our Fire Safety
Engineering Group won the Queen's
Anniversary Prize for Higher Education in 2002, the
top award at the British Computer Society (BCS) IT Awards in 2001 and the
European IST (Information Society Technologies) Prize
in 2003 for its EXODUS software.
The
School consists of over 100 academic and research staff divided into
the departments of
Computing & Information Systems,
Smart Systems Technologies,
Creative Digital Technologies, and
Mathematical Sciences.
From film production and digital animation to financial mathematics, from robotics to e-business, the School offers something for everyone. We have a wide portfolio of up-to-date, relevant and exciting courses in leading-edge technologies, such as digital media, embedded systems, games development, forensics and security, as well as more traditional areas, such as computer science, networking and mathematics.
The School also prides itself in its pastoral care with an extensive personal tutoring system design to help students with their academic activities.
We hope that you find our web pages a useful source of information but please do not hesitate to contact us should you require any further information.
