Key Information
Why study this course?

Adding a master’s year enables you to work more independently
and at a higher level, preparing you for a career in a technical
or quantitative discipline or for doctoral research.
This course adds a fourth year at master’s level to our bachelor’s
degree, in which you will study specialist modules based on your own
interests as well as your tutors’ research interests. Building on what
you learned in your first three years, you will develop higher-level skills
both in mathematics and in your approaches to problem solving and
the communication of your solutions to diverse audiences. Studying
for a master’s at Keele you will spend more time in self-directed study,
becoming an independent learner, thinker and researcher. You will deliver
a substantial project, write mathematics to a professional standard and
explore how mathematicians contribute to academia and industry.

Indicative modules

For first, second and third year
indicative modules please see
the Mathematics course entry
on page 116.
Fourth year
• Master’s Project

Equations

What will this mean
for my future?

You will have learned to approach
problem solving in unfamiliar and
complex environments, perhaps
where your access to information
is limited, and to communicate
your conclusions clearly to a
range of audiences including
non-mathematicians. These
valuable skills are highly attractive
to employers in an extremely
wide range of fields. Your master’s
degree will also be an excellent
springboard for pursuing further
studies at doctoral level.

I attended the Keele Mathematics
Masterclasses at high school,
and whils t at college I came to
the university for a computing
workshop and mathematics
lectures. Now I'm here full-time,
I am really enjoying my course.
