About this course

Studying Physics with Mathematics at Keele will help you to develop strong analytical and critical thinking skills. It can also lead to a more profound comprehension of the subject and the mathematical theories that underpin it, as you will be taught by world-leading researchers in state-of-the-art facilities with plenty of opportunities to apply your learning through real-world scenarios.

*Why choose this course?

  • Acquire the advanced techniques and skills to solve real-world problems at the interface of Physics and Mathematics

  • Benefit from hands-on laboratory work, problem-solving sessions, innovative assessments and small-group tutorials

  • Develop your own research interests and explore frontier topics such as quantum physics, fluid mechanics and wave propagation

  • Be career ready by gaining transferrable, professional and employability skills

  • Undertake a research project and professional development activities in preparation for academic research and industry roles

    In your first year of study, you will develop a solid foundation in core physics concepts exploring topics including gravity, relativity and matter, electricity, magnetism and waves. Building your professional skillset, you will learn the basics of computer programming with python, gain hands on practice in conducting a variety of physical experiments, develop the art of scientific writing and reporting. You will also strengthen your mathematics skills with dedicated modules in calculus and differential equations.

    From year two you can also choose a work placement module and further personalise your learning by choosing from a variety of optional modules in topics such as radiation physics, probability and dynamics.

    As your degree progresses, you will be exposed to more advanced concepts and techniques, such as nuclear and quantum physics, optics and thermodynamics. There will be increased opportunities to apply your learning to real-world problems, whilst you build your professional and employability skills.
