Entry requirements

All 2026-27 applicants will be required to take TMUA except for applicants who are eligible for a Contextual Offer – see our Contextual Offers webpage to check your eligibility.

TMUA scores will be assessed alongside other factors (including GCSEs, contextual indicators and predicted grades) to determine which applicants receive an offer.

The exact requirement in TMUA will be set once all results have been received. We cannot advise on the TMUA requirement at this stage.

Please note that applicants who do not take TMUA and who are not eligible for a Contextual Offer may not be considered for an offer.

For further details including test dates and how to register for TMUA, please see the TMUA at Warwick webpage.

Subject Combinations

We are looking for students with strong mathematical ability and A-level Mathematics or equivalent is therefore required for this programme.

Further Maths is not essential, however it is a highly recommended subject choice for a student considering Computer Science at degree level. We understand that not all schools offer Further Maths, and so we do consider applications from people with a single Maths A-level.

We will only look at your top three grades (including Mathematics). A fourth A Level will not be considered.

Why Warwick

About the department

Discrete Mathematics (MEng) draws on areas of both computer science and mathematics. You will acquire skills in software engineering, combinatorial analysis, formal proof and algorithmic analysis. Regular individual and group projects will consolidate what you have learned by applying it to practical problems.

This course draws on areas of both computer science and mathematics. You will acquire skills in software engineering, combinatorial analysis, formal proof and algorithmic analysis. Regular individual and group projects will consolidate what you have learned by allowing you to apply it to practical problems.

Your learning experiences throughout the course will enable you to both analyse and solve problems in an abstract sense, and realise solutions through computer software. These abilities, alongside transferable skills in communication, planning, and self-organisation are highly valued by employers.

By studying the four-year MEng, you have the flexibility in your final year to choose optional modules, tailoring the degree to your interests.

You may choose to spend a year in industry, research institutions, or study abroad between Years Two and Three, or between Years Three and Four of your degree. This will be reflected in your degree title.

Read more about entry requirements

Your first year will establish the foundations of Discrete Mathematics and its applications, covering proof, formal arguments, rigour and calculations, as well as mathematical reasoning, combinatorial analysis and discrete structures.

In your second year, you will develop a rigorous understanding of the subject's theoretical basis, which will prepare you for later specialisation.

In your third year, you will work alongside academics on an individual project as well as focusing on applications of Discrete Mathematics to Computer Science, and completing advanced modules on algorithms and computation.

In your fourth year, you will have the flexibility to choose optional modules, tailoring the degree to your interests.

In each year of their course, students are expected to study a core group of modules and to make up the required normal load for the year by choosing a set of optional modules. There is a choice of optional modules available and there may be requirements to be satisfied by the choices: that a minimum number be chosen from a specific list.

All students complete Refresher Mathematics before the start of term, a 0 credit module designed to reinforce your existing mathematical knowledge.

Tuition fee

For the 2027-28 academic year, the UK government announced in March 2026 that the tuition fee cap for UK undergraduate students for the 2027-28 academic year would be £10,050.

If you are joining Warwick for the 2026-27 academic year, the University of Warwick’s Executive Board has confirmed a change in fees to £9,790 (from the 2025-26 rate of £9,535), following the UK government announcement in November 2025 to increase in the tuition fee cap for Home students for the 2026-27 academic year.

Students who qualify for government-regulated fees are classed as ‘Home’ students for fees purposes. In future years, fees for continuing students may be subject to an increase in fees in line with any inflationary uplift as determined by the UK Government (if permitted by law or government policy).

How are fees set?Fee status guidance

How are fees set?

The UK Government sets tuition fee rates.

To learn more about how the UK student fees and maintenance loans are set, please visit the UK Government websiteLink opens in a new window and UCASLink opens in a new window.

Fee status guidance

We carry out an initial fee status assessment based on the information you provide in your application. Students will be classified as Home or Overseas fee status. Your fee status determines tuition fees, and what financial support and scholarships may be available. If you receive an offer, your fee status will be clearly stated alongside the tuition fee information.

If you believe that your fee status has been classified incorrectly, you can complete a fee status assessment questionnaire. Please follow the instructions in your offer information and provide the documents needed to reassess your status.

Tuition Fee Loan

Eligible Home students residing in England can apply for a Tuition Fee Loan, which is not based on household income, to cover your tuition fees

The Loan is paid directly to the University so, if you choose to take the full Tuition Fee Loan, you will not need to set up any payments

Maintenance Loan for living costs

You can apply for a Maintenance Loan to help with your living costs, such as accommodation, food, books and bills

This loan is means-tested, so the amount you receive is partially based on your household income and if you choose to live at home or away from home

For the latest information about student loans, including how you repay them, visit Student finance for undergraduatesLink opens in a new window

Repaying your loans

You will repay your loan or loans gradually once you are working and earning above a certain amount. For students starting their course after 1 August 2023 (on Student Finance England’s Plan 5), you will repay when your income is over £25,000 a year.

Repayments will be taken directly from your salary if you are an employee. If your income falls below the earnings threshold or you stop working, your repayments will stop until your income goes back up above this figure.

TeachingClass sizesTypical contact hoursAssessmentStudy abroad

Teaching

Our courses offer a balance of core material delivered through lectures, small-group seminars and hands-on laboratory sessions. Approximately a quarter of your time is spent in timetabled classes, with the remainder being used for private study, completing assignments and projects, and practical work in the dedicated computing laboratories, which are open 24/7.

Class sizes

Lectures within Computer Science vary in size. Lectures are the main form of content delivery within most of your modules.

Seminars are smaller classes, typically between 20 and 40 students, where you can expect a more traditional classroom experience.

Typical contact hours

Each module will include between 3-5 hours of contact time each week, consisting of between 2-3 hours of lectures and 1-2 hours of labs and seminars.

Each hour of contact time should be supplemented with at least one hour of independent study.

Assessment

Your performance on most modules will be assessed by a combination of coursework and written examination. The coursework may be individual or group work and involve programming, research, writing and/or presentations.

The final-year project work is fully assessed by a presentation and project reports. Each year contributes to the final degree classification, typically in the ratio of 10:20:35:35 for a MEng degree.

Study abroad

You can spend a year at one of our partner institutions overseasLink opens in a new window.

In addition to benefitting from a rich cultural experience, students returning from studying overseas exhibit an international profile that is attractive to potential employers.
