Degrees offered by the Mathematics Department all have a common core that comprises 75% of their 1st year. Only half of the 1st year of the Discrete Mathematics degree course is from this core (by omitting Differential Equations and Mechanics, whose applications are more in the direction of applied mathematics). The other half is taught by the Department of Computer Science and this includes specialised modules in Discrete Mathematics and its Applications. Typically 30% of the core in the 2nd year and a smaller proportion of the core of the 3rd year is taught by the Mathematics Department.
