We’re Keele University and we’re different. Founded more than 60 years ago – on the belief that we meet the demands of a new kind of society, economy and world – our principles resonate now more than ever. Nestled in 600 acres of countryside in the heart of the UK, many of our students and a number of our staff live, as well as study and work, here. It’s a big campus but a small and cosmopolitan community. We operate 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. We regularly rank near the 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. We teach in small groups, provide one-to- one access to our academics and value the quality of our teaching.
