Course summary

What this course is about

UCAS code: F3G1

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

If you're intrigued by the universal principles of physics and the logical beauty of mathematics, our Physics with Mathematics programme explores their deep-rooted connection in understanding how the world works. From acquiring sought after employability skills, to the possibility of spending time in industry, you will graduate with the analytical, critical thinking, programming and teamworking skills that are highly valued by employers in a broad range of sectors.

Why choose this course?

  • Top 10 in England for Physics (NSS 2025, broad-based universities)*

  • Top 10 in the UK for Mathematics (Guardian University Guide, 2026)

  • Accredited by the Institute of Physics (IoP)

  • Acquire the advanced techniques and skills to solve real-world problems at the interface of Physics and Mathematics

  • Benefit from hands-on laboratory work, problem-solving sessions, innovative assessments and small-group tutorials

Physics and Mathematics are deeply connected subjects, and pivotal in gaining insight into how the world works. Mathematics is the essential framework to describe physical phenomena precisely. Equations and formulae allow relationships between different physical quantities to be expressed, and mathematical models predict the behaviour of systems under various conditions.

Physics helps us understand the fundamental laws that govern the universe, from the smallest particles to the largest galaxies. Many technologies we rely on today are based on principles of physics. From powering our world to advancing medicine and technology, physics is at the heart of innovation.

Studying this combination helps develop strong analytical and critical thinking skills and can lead to a more profound comprehension of the subject and the mathematical theories that underpin it, as you will be taught by world-leading researchers in state-of-the-art facilities with plenty of opportunities to apply your learning through real-world scenarios.

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