Mathematics and Physics BSc (Hons) BSc (Hons) BSc (Hons)

Combine the study of two fascinating and deeply connected subjects to gain insight into how the world works. Our Mathematics and Physics BSc will equip you with a diverse skill-set, including the critical thinking and problem-solving skills to enter a huge variety of careers.<br/><br/>**Why choose this course?** <br/><br/><br/>- 15th in the UK for Mathematics (Guardian League Table, 2024) <br/><br/><br/>- Professional accreditation pathway in physics is available<br/><br/><br/>- Access to Keeles state-of-the-art Central Science Laboratories (CSL) <br/><br/><br/>- Tackle an open-ended, research-focused physics project in your final year <br/><br/><br/>In mathematics you will explore the core areas of mathematics, including calculus, algebra and probability, as well as developing a solid foundation in mathematical methods and techniques so you can apply these principles to the real world. Throughout the programme, you will have the opportunity to explore pure mathematics, applied mathematics and statistics. To help develop the skills employers are looking for, you can learn the programming language Python and understand how mathematics is used in a professional environment.<br/><br/>In Physics youll gain the quantitative, analytic and communication skills needed for analysing data and solving problems, which are prized by employers in industries such as power, nuclear electronics, IT and data-mining. The programme is underpinned by a core physics curriculum as set out by the Institute of Physics. This includes, for example, the fundamentals of classical and quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, optics and solid state physics. Our programme will provide you with a solid grounding in the underpinning theory and plenty of hands-on practical experience in Keeles state-of-the-art laboratories<br/><br/>**About Keele**<br/><br/>Keele University was established in 1949 by the former Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University. Founded to meet the needs of a changing world, Keele has always had a pioneering vision to be a different kind of university. <br/><br/>We excel in both teaching and research, with some of the most satisfied students in England, and research that is changing lives for the better at a regional, national and global level. <br/><br/>Our beautiful 600-acre campus is one of the biggest in Britain – but all the most important services and facilities are on your doorstep, with accommodation, teaching spaces, facilities including a medical centre, sports centre and pharmacy, and a range of shops, eateries and entertainment venues – including the Students’ Union – clustered around the centre.
