MATHEMATICS AND PHYSICS - BSC (HON) at Keele University

On this course you will explore the beauty, elegance and practicality of pure mathematics, applied mathematics and statistics. You will learn to use maths for a range of purposes which may include developing precise and logical arguments, constructing rigorous proofs, and formulating solutions to new problems. You will study in an intellectually stimulating environment amongst other mathematicians. Your skills will be in demand wherever there’s a need for logical thinking.

Studying Physics at Keele, you will learn to apply mathematics and computing to formulate and solve a wide range of physical problems. You’ll use mathematics to describe the physical world, and learn to plan and conduct investigations before reporting your results. Your course will be informed by the research interests of our current teaching staff: primarily astrophysics and condensed matter physics.

Regular laboratory sessions will enable you to investigate unfamiliar phenomena and acquire specialist techniques, but you’ll also develop invaluable transferable skills such as communication, IT and interpersonal skills. We are committed to supporting you throughout your studies, giving you access to staff to seek advice or feedback. Several of the mathematics staff are engaged in research that is closely related to areas of theoretical physics.
