The Department of Mathematical Sciences and Computing (MSC) at the Walter Sisulu University's Mthatha Campus offers undergraduate and postgraduate programs in mathematics, statistics, and computer science. The undergraduate programs include four streams: Applied Mathematics, Mathematics, Computer Science, and Statistics. These programs are available as three-year mainstream or four-year extended curriculum programs. Both lead to the same qualifications, and the job opportunities are the same.

The department currently offers postgraduate studies in BSc Hons in Computer Science, BSc Hons in Mathematics, and MSc in Mathematics, PhD in Natural Science with plans to revive BSc Hons in Statistics, MSc in Statistics and MSc in Computer Science.

MSC has partnerships with leading organizations such as IBM, and offers research and teaching opportunities, fellowships, and internships. The department also offers service courses in computer literacy, applied statistics, biostatistics, and mathematics. In terms of research, the department focuses on a variety of topics including fundamental mathematics, computer science, applied mathematics, and statistics.

The following are all the qualifications that are offered by the department of mathematical sciences and computing:
