Course overview

Develop the key problem-solving, logical reasoning and practical skills that employers are looking for with Keeles Mathematics programme, which offers in-depth coverage of the three core disciplines – pure mathematics, applied mathematics and statistics. Pure mathematics focuses on mathematical proof, logical argument and abstraction, applied mathematics is concerned with methods and their application to modelling real-world problems, and statistics involves mathematical modelling of uncertainty and the analysis of data.

Throughout the programme youll apply your learning to real-world phenomena or experiences, providing context to your learning and strengthening your understanding. Youll also have the chance to align your studies to your passions by choosing from a variety of optional modules.

During your first year, youll build a strong foundation in mathematical thinking with modules in algebra, calculus, and differential equations, as well as developing your skills in data analysis using the statistical software R. Youll 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.

Focusing on your employability skills, you will have the opportunity to spend time in industry with both full time and modular placement opportunities. You will also build on your professional and transferable skills with extended problem work, report writing, effective communication of mathematical results, and collaboration with others.
