The  School of Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science is one of five Schools in the College of Agriculture, Engineering and Science. The School’s competent cohort of lecturers ensure that students emerge highly employable, with a rich university experience and a comprehensive, first-class Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree to their name.

The School offers is comprised of three disciplines, which provide students with access to numerous career opportunities.

This three-year undergraduate degree is achieved either through a general and flexible BSc (Mathematics Stream, or M-stream as it is known) with various possible major subject combinations (Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Pure Mathematics, Statistics); or through a specific focused BSc, which has a more directed outcome in Computer Science and Information Technology.
