Here's what Keele University says about its Physics with Artificial Intelligence course.

Physics with Artificial Intelligence at Keele puts you at the cutting edge of technology, where science meets innovation. From learning core physics and computer science concepts to exploring the dynamic world of machine learning, you will gain the knowledge and techniques to create innovative solutions for real-world challenges. From analytical thinking and advanced problem-solving to programming, you will graduate with a toolkit of skills that are in high demand across a wide variety of industries including finance, healthcare and engineering.

Why choose this course?

  • Tackle physical problems and real-world challenges using machine learning and artificial intelligence

  • Engage in hands-on learning through interactive workshops, collaborative group activities, and immersive laboratory experiences

  • Gain the problem-solving, experimental, programming and teamworking skills that are highly valued by employers in a broad range of sectors

  • Learn in a supportive environment with innovative learning materials and plenty of tutor support

  • Undertake a research project and professional development activities in preparation for academic research and industry roles

Discover how physics and artificial intelligence are deeply interconnected on our Physics with Artificial Intelligence BSc. Just as physicists develop mathematical models to describe and predict natural phenomena, AI uses similar computational techniques to learn from and interpret vast datasets. This symbiotic relationship means that advances in one field often directly inform and accelerate progress in the other.

In your first two years of study, you will build a solid foundation in core physics concepts including gravitation, relativity and quantum physics, while strengthening your computational and problem-solving skills. This will enable you to tackle complex problems that require a deep understanding of physical principles and advanced data analysis techniques.

Building on these skills, you will learn the latest methods and research directions in AI, including data science techniques, machine learning applications and computational intelligence. You will then apply these skills and techniques to solve advanced physics problems.

Designed to provide you with the specialist skills you will need as a professional, modern physicist, you will benefit from a suite of practical and professional development modules embedded throughout our curriculum. From scientific programming and writing to dedicated career-focused sessions, we will provide you with the knowledge, tools and connections to develop a strong foundation for your future career.

About Keele Keele University was established in 1949 by the former Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University. Founded to meet the needs of a changing world, Keele has always had a pioneering vision to be a different kind of university.

We excel in both teaching and research, with some of the most satisfied students in England, and research that is changing lives for the better at a regional, national and global level.

Our beautiful 600-acre campus is one of the biggest in Britain – but all the most important services and facilities are on your doorstep, with accommodation, teaching spaces, facilities including a medical centre, sports centre and pharmacy, and a range of shops, eateries and entertainment venues – including the Students’ Union – clustered around the centre.

Keele University open days

Are you thinking of applying to this university?

Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.

Universities will list upcoming open days on their websites. Most will also have virtual open days; these are a great alternative if you really can't get there in person. For tips on preparing for open days, check the advice section here on The Uni Guide.
