Looks like they combined Maths and CS into one school

The course offer looks to be mainly applications, which does tend to fit the profile of this particular university in the UK. The staff list looks to be roughly balanced between mathematical sciences and CS.

He does ecological modelling. One paper that caught my very superficial eye

So to answer your question: going strong, mostly applications.
