ASTROPHYSICS AND MATHEMATICS B.Sc (Hons)

In Astrophysics, you will learn to formulate and tackle problems – from below the level of the atomic nucleus to astronomical scales. Astrophysics is active wherever the laws of physics are being tested to the limit – and beyond. Keele will help you to use astronomical observations, mathematical models and computer simulation to develop theories explaining some of the most complex phenomena.

You’ll develop your mathematics and computing skills, and apply them to solving a range of problems in the laboratory and beyond (you’ll have access to Keele’s own on-site observatory). We operate an open-door policy, which enables you to have excellent and flexible access to staff to seek advice or feedback on their work. This course is enriched by our research interests and international collaborative research programs.

This combined course is accredited by the Institute of Physics.

Alongside this, you will be studying Mathematics where 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.

We recognize the need for making the transition from A-Level to University Mathematics as smooth as possible and have a carefully designed first-year curriculum and a multi-layered student support structure.

Job Opportunity Potential

96% of Keele graduates were in a job or further study within six months of graduating (DLHE, 2017)

An astrophysics degree from Keele will prepare you for many different careers, which need not be directly related to astrophysics. You could take up many roles in industry, management, and public services, including teaching, health and finance. Many employers recognise that the versatility and flexibility of astrophysics means that graduates possess a wide range of very valuable skills, from independent and critical thinking to the solving of sophisticated problems.

With an Astrophysics and Mathematics degree from Keele University you could take up roles as a research scientist, medical physicist, or enter the space, telecommunications or nuclear industries. You may instead find employment as a science writer, chartered accountant or IT consultant. Many of our graduates go onto further study at Master’s/PhD level.

Through the combined honours degree in mathematics, it helps you to take novel approaches to problem solving and make critical interpretations of data and text; your skills will be in demand wherever there’s a need for logical thinking. An extremely wide range of career paths is open to mathematicians, where high levels of mathematical ability are desirable. This can include fields of work as diverse as finance, data analytics, teaching, engineering, medical statistics and management consultancy.
