Preparation courses
Keele offers a choice of foundation year routes to prepare students for undergraduate study.
These courses combine subject specific modules with study skills and English language
(where required) taught in small classes with plenty of support to enable students to
acclimatise to their new learning environment and get the best start to their university life.
Progression to a Keele degree programme is guaranteed for students meeting the academic
threshold and where possible, international students are offered a CAS for a visa for the full
duration of their studies.
