Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Logic and Computation

The University of Auckland

From Mathematics to Medicinal Chemistry Biotechnology to Geography and Food Science to Photonics, the sheer range of specialisations available in the BSc(Hons) programme means you’re sure to find your niche. What’s more, you’ll be able to deepen your knowledge and skills in your specialist area. After graduating with a BSc(Hons), it’s possible to progress to a Master of Science (MSc) degree. If you achieve First or Second Class First Division Honours in your BSc(Hons), you’ll be eligible for direct entry to a PhD. Postgraduate study in Applied Mathematics focuses on mathematical and computational models to formulate and solve real-world problems from a variety of areas within science and technology. From analysing the most efficient way to schedule airline routes between cities, to the effects and safety of new drugs, applied maths is a good foundation to apply alongside many other sciences. You will learn how to build mathematical models, how to formulate mathematical ideas for useful modeling, alongside learning about the solutions of models.If you have a flexible mind that’s capable of creative, speculative thought, along with precise calculation, problem solving and design, then Logic and Computation is a great subject for you. It’s a combination of courses from Computer Science, Linguistics, Mathematics and Philosophy. Studying Logic and Computation can help you develop conceptual and analytical skills. You’ll examine the structure, design and limitations of symbolic representations and procedures in both human thought and computer software. Logic and Computation is taught by experts in both the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Arts. We are the only university in New Zealand to offer this undergraduate programme.
