Course summary

Analyse the nature of the Universe and model physical systems with differential equations. Our Astrophysics and Mathematics BSc will arm you with the transferable knowledge and skills to follow a variety of career paths. Why choose this course?

  • Top 10 in England for Mathematics (National Student Survey, 2021)
  • Professional accreditation pathway available in Astrophysics
  • Develop your practical skills in Keele's state-of-the-art Central Science Laboratories (CSL)
  • Opportunities to study abroad and spend a year in industry
Studying a combined honours in astrophysics and mathematics will provide you with a breadth of knowledge and a wide range of skills across two fascinating and deeply interconnected subject areas. In astrophysics you will apply physics to understanding how the universe works and potentially explore questions like 'Is there an Earth-like planet around another star?' 'Is there a black hole at the centre of every galaxy?' And 'Why is the expansion of the Universe accelerating?' These are questions that astrophysics helps you discover the answer to. Mathematics can be related to almost every aspect of the world we live in and the universe beyond. Mathematics is the language we use to describe the various physical concepts you will encounter. About Keele Keele University was established in 1949 by the former Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University.
