Anne-Marie Simcock, MMath
"The best part of the programme for me was the atmosphere that studying at Keele provided. The open door policy makes Keele special, staff are willing to help you whenever possible and the relationships that you can develop with staff and fellow students makes studying at Keele wonderful."
Luke Riley, MMath
"The variety of modules on offer at Keele allowed me to study modules I enjoyed while also studying modules that helped develop vital skills required for a professional job role. Don’t hesitate to ask the lecturers for help when you need it, the Maths lecturers at Keele go above and beyond for students in a way you would struggle to find elsewhere."
Hollie Lloyd, MMath
"One of the best things about the Mathematics course at Keele is the wide range of modules on offer, which allow you to tailor your degree to give you the appropriate skills for whatever you wish to do after your degree. The ability to think logically and solve problems is not something to be underestimated, as well as being an attractive skill to many employers after completing your degree."
Course content
On this course, you will establish a solid background in probability and statistics which will equip you with theoretical framework. This is complemented with training in statistical software which will be then applied to other areas of the course. You will learn to use maths to develop precise and logical arguments, construct rigorous proofs, and formulate solutions to new problems.
Mathematics helps you to take novel approaches to problem solving and make critical interpretations of data and text. Our programmes are designed for students with varying education backgrounds and we have a multi-layered student support structure. You will study in an intellectually stimulating environment amongst other mathematicians.
Accreditation and professional recognition
This course is accredited by the IMA.
This course will meet the educational requirements of the Chartered Mathematician designation, awarded by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, when it is followed by subsequent training and experience in employment to obtain equivalent competences to those specified by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) for taught masters degrees.

Athena SWAN
The Athena SWAN Charter is a framework which is used across the globe to support and transform gender equality within higher education (HE) and research. Established in 2005 to encourage and recognise commitment to advancing the careers of women in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine (STEMM) employment, the Charter is now being used across the globe to address gender equality more broadly, and not just barriers to progression that affect women.
Over the past years, we have developed our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) agenda and this is now embedded throughout all levels and activities. In September 2020, the School of Computing and Mathematics successfully renewed the Athena SWAN Bronze Award for 5 years. The School is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive culture in which students are able to thrive, regardless of their gender.
