Key Course Facts
Course Description
Set in 600 acres of countryside in North Staffordshire, we have one of the largest and most beautiful campuses in Britain. We’re proud to be No.2 in England for Student Satisfaction with Course (Guardian University League Table, 2020), investing more than £140m in our campus in the last ten years, including £45m new science laboratories. In 2021 we were proud to be awarded Sustainability Institution of the Year at the prestigious Green Gown Awards as part of our mission to become a carbon neutral campus by 2030. We're committed to supporting you to achieve your career goals, and have a dedicated Careers and Employability team who can assist you to navigate your options beyond Keele.
This programme will be made up of a combination of modules from both Mathematics and Geography. You will learn how to apply maths for a range of purposes which might include developing precise and logical arguments, constructing rigorous proofs, and formulating solutions to new problems; whilst Geography allows you to focus specifically on your preferred area of physical geography.
Mathematics helps you to take novel approaches to problem solving and make critical interpretations of data and text. Our programme has a carefully designed first year curriculum to make your transition from A Level to university as smooth as possible. This consists of a multi-layered student support structure and academics with considerable experience in teaching and examining, and providing useful feedback on coursework.
This course explores the Earth's varied landscapes and the complex, potentially fragile, global systems that connect them. As a student at Keele you will learn about the rapidly evolving science at the heart of global environmental change and discover new ways of understanding. You will develop interdisciplinary perspectives, problem-solving skills and the ability to research, evaluate and synthesise information from diverse sources.
Our focus on climate change, global responsibility, sustainability, and the application of professional geographical skills to real-world situations will prepare you for a wide range of careers and for life as a responsible global citizen. What you learn here will equip you for future employment and for a lifelong appreciation of the world around you.
