"My degree has helped me become a part time coding tutor, teaching young minds how to code. It has also helped me get on to the master’s course I am studying right now. I chose Keele because of the campus, and because of the AI modules. The department has great opportunities, as well as great staff who are very understanding and helpful."

"I learned how to work through a mathematical problem, applying real life context wherever possible and how to present solutions to problems in a well structured report style. This particularly helps when displaying work I have done to non mathematicians."
