Key Information
Why study this course?
Our teaching is excellent, as evidenced by Mathematics at Keele
having been consistently ranked in the top ten in the UK in the
National Student Survey.
On this course you will explore the beauty, elegance and practicality of
pure mathematics, applied mathematics and statistics. You will learn to
use maths to develop precise and logical arguments, construct rigorous
proofs, and formulate solutions to new problems. You will study in
an intellectually stimulating environment amongst mathematicians
producing world-leading research. There is an option to take this degree
over four years, by adding a year abroad studying (in English) at one
of our partner institutions – which could be anywhere from Australia to
Finland, Japan or the USA.

Mathematics, Second Year
I am enjoying the teaching,
as the lectures are all highly
interesting and the lecturers
deliver the course in a manner
which is understandable but
still intriguing, interesting and
thought provoking. Maths is one
of the most rewarding subjects
you can do, even though it is
hard work at times, the end
result falling into place will
always give you a feeling similar
to that of an adrenaline shot.
