KEELE UNIVERSITY

Founded more than 60 years ago on the belief that it can meet the demands of a new kind of society, economy and world, its principles resonate now more than ever. Nestled in 600 acres of countryside in the heart of the UK, many of its students and a number of staff live, as well as study and work there. It’s a big campus but a small and cosmopolitan community. It operates on a human scale, providing people the space to think and plenty to do, with a vast array of clubs, societies, activities and volunteering opportunities.

It successively ranks at the very top of student satisfaction surveys. This is because it’s more than green and lovely, it’s a place of research and academic excellence too. Whether it’s Health, Humanities and Social Sciences or Natural Sciences, whatever your area of study, we deliver a unique and international learning experience. Teaching is done in small groups, providing one-to-one access to academics and it values the quality of teaching as highly as its research.

Degree programmes and foundation years have always been distinctively challenging, flexible and foster a broader based knowledge. Its interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approach doesn’t just underpin a wonderful education but powers its world leading research. All of which also means it delivers greater impact and value from its research and teaching, globally as well as locally.

‌Keele is in North Staffordshire halfway between Manchester and Birmingham. The University is on a hill overlooking the town of Newcastle-under-Lyme (two miles from Keele) with Stoke-on-Trent (and its main shopping area Hanley) just a couple of miles further. Everything’s on your doorstep at Keele, with all the most important services and facilities gathered together at the centre of campus. And because student population is quite small, there’s a great sense of community. There is a thriving student life around the campus and a wide range of café-bars, restaurants and pubs in Newcastle and clubs in Hanley.
