Course summary

Gain insight into how the world works and cultivate the hands-on expertise needed to address tangible challenges and shape the software systems of the future. Our Computer Science and Physics degree will provide you with sought-after analytical and problem-solving capabilities relevant for a career in a variety of industries. Why choose this course?

  • Tackle an open-ended, research-focused physics project in your final year
  • Accreditation pathway available in Physics
  • Use a variety of industry-standard equipment including supercomputer facilities and a VR lab
  • Develop core practical skills in Keele's state-of-the-art Central Science Laboratories (CSL)
Computer Science at Keele is informed by research and benefits from close interaction with industry, including industrial guest lectures in certain modules. Initial study topics explore the fundamental concepts and techniques for modern, professional programming which will become more advanced throughout your degree programme. This includes areas such as games programming, artificial intelligence and cyber security, with the consideration of cutting edge research in AI and machine learning. You will also have the opportunity to further specialise in your studies and apply the techniques you have learnt, through a final year project. Physics equips you with the quantitative, analytic and communication skills needed for analysing data and solving problems, which are prized by employers in industries such as power, nuclear electronics, IT and data-mining. The programme is underpinned by a core physics curriculum as set out by the Institute of Physics. This includes, for example, the fundamentals of classical and quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, optics and solid state physics. Our programme will provide you with a solid grounding in the underpinning theory and plenty of hands-on practical experience in Keele's state-of-the-art laboratories. 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.
