<div>The Bachelor of Computing and Mathematical Sciences (Honours) is New Zealand's only computing and mathematical science degree taught over four years. That extra year gives you the chance to drill more deeply into your specialist area and add papers that will complement your main focus.If you enjoy tinkering with technology, designing new things and solving complex problems the Bachelor of Computing and Mathematical Sciences (Honours) gives you the chance to explore many fields which are in high-demand.In the BCMS(Hons) you can major in:<ul><li>Computer Science</li><li>Data Analytics</li><li>Mathematics</li></ul>First-year papers are common across most Bachelor of Computing and Mathematical Sciences (BCMS) majors which means you can try all in your first year. Because the first three years of the BCMS(Hons) are very similar to the Bachelor of Science (BSc), you can choose when you graduate. You have the option to graduate after three years with a BSc or stay on for an extra year and complete your BCMS(Hons).In the BCMS(Hons) you will benefit from practical, project based papers which will equip you with the technical, communication and practical skills for a career in a field of numerous international opportunities.The BCMS(Hons) is taught by some of New Zealand's leading computing and mathematics researchers, who are kept close to local and international industry developments through regular research and consulting work. We regularly update our papers to reflect this changing environment and match our programmes to Faculty expertise.Computing facilities at WaikatoThe computing facilities at the University of Waikato are among the best in New Zealand, ranging from phones and tablets for mobile application development to cluster computers for massively parallel processing. You will also have 24 hour access to computer labs equipped with all the latest computer software.</div>

There will be no new enrolments into the BCMS(Hons) in 2023. Alternative options such as the BSc(Hons) in Computer Science are available to obtain a Bachelor's degree with Honours in Computer Science, Data Analytics, or Mathematics.

<div>Studying Economics will help you see the world in a different light, and use data-driven insights to help people, governments and businesses make better decisions about using natural and financial resources to meet their goals.If you're passionate about business, politics, current affairs, finance and statistics, then economics may be ideal for you.Economists contribute to government decision-making by shaping new laws and taxes, or advising on international trade agreements.They can also be involved in recommending incentives and penalties geared towards changing people's behaviour, such as encouraging people to use public transport instead of driving to work.In this subject, you'll learn how to explain the reasons for different market structures, analyse the implications of government policy, anticipate how people might react to price changes, and demonstrate the gains from trade.Be taught by leading economistsWhen you study Economics at Waikato, you'll be exposed to nine of New Zealand's leading economists (Repec), and a faculty that is ranked 1st in New Zealand for economics research quality (Performance-Based Research Fund).Waikato is also ranked in the world's top 251-300 universities for Economics &amp; Finance, and Business &amp; Management Studies in the prestigious QS Subject Rankings 2020.You'll study at Waikato Management School, placed in the top 1% of business schools globally with our Triple Crown Accreditation from EQUIS, AMBA and AACSB.</div>

This short course in economics will help you develop the analytical skills needed to be an effective problem solver of real-life issues, ranging from employment and housing, to public health, transport and environmental pollution. It also provides a springboard to further study.
