School of Computer Science and Mathematics

With Mathematics being one of Keele’s inaugural subjects since 1949 and Computer Science founded in 1972, our School has a long-standing tradition in teaching and research. We conduct internationally recognised research in synthetic biology, health and cultural informatics, evolutionary robotics, smart energy, machine learning and AI, as well as in pure mathematics and statistics, fluid dynamics, solid mechanics, modelling of nano-materials, biomechanics, and computational approaches for solving inverse problems for imaging and ensuring safety and security. We have a vibrant community of undergraduate and postgraduate taught students, PhD research students, professional support staff, postdoctoral researchers and academics.

Study with us

Undergraduate study

Our single honours degrees allow you to focus on one specific subject for 3 years, we also offer combined honours degree programmes which allow you to study two subjects in equal amounts for 3 years. Our courses include computer science, mathematics and data science.

Integrated Masters

We offer 4-year Integrated Master's programmes with the MComp (Computer Science with Integrated Master's) and MMath (Mathematics with Integrated Master's).

Online Master’s degrees

Delivered entirely online and with a flexible course design, these courses can be studied from anywhere in the world and around work and family commitments, meaning you can continue to earn and progress in your role whilst you study.

Postgraduate study

We offer an MSc Computer Science which is suitable for those who don't have a computing undergraduate degree.

Postgradute research

PhD and MPhil research projects are available across a range of areas within computer science and mathematics.

Studentships

Keele University studentships are funded internally or from external sponsors such as research councils or from industry. If you are interested in any of the studentships available you can apply online.

We're proud to have opened the Overclockers UK Gaming Lab in the School.

This is a 24 station computing suite, which thanks to a gift in kind from Overclockers UK Ltd has been equipped with high spec computer gaming equipment and peripherals.
