Our Mathematics (with Statistics) programme at Keele offers comprehensive coverage of the three core disciplines—pure mathematics, applied mathematics, and statistics—while placing strong emphasis on developing the key problem-solving, logical reasoning, practical and employability skills employers seek.  

During your first year, you will build a strong foundation in mathematical thinking with modules in algebra, calculus, and differential equations, whilst developing your skills in data analysis using the statistical software R. You will also begin to develop key employability skills by working in teams on group projects, solving problems and communicating your findings in visual ways.

In year two, you will strengthen your knowledge in pure and applied mathematics, probability and statistics, whilst expanding your skillset by learning the programming language Python.

In your final year you will study specialised modules related to statistics including partial differential equations, financial maths and medical statistics.  \
You may also choose to work on a final year research project, applying theoretical knowledge and problem-solving skills to a technical, software, research or business problem. Your research project is an excellent opportunity for you to draw together skills in experimental study design, critical interpretation of data, presentation and project management.
