MMath Mathematics with Integrated Master’s

This course adds a fourth year at master’s level to our Single Honours degree, in which you will study specialist modules based on your own interests as well as your tutors’ research interests. Building on what you learn in your first three years, you will develop higher-level skills both in mathematics and in your approaches to problem-solving and the communication of your solutions to diverse audiences. Studying for a master’s at Keele you will spend more time in self-directed study, becoming an independent learner, thinker, and researcher. You will deliver a substantial project, write mathematics to a professional standard and explore how mathematicians contribute to academia and industry.
