Preparing for your career

Our dedicated international careers
advisor helps prepare students for
their next step, providing careers
guidance, advice and information
to help students achieve their
career plans whether in the UK
or overseas, whilst they are at
Keele and after graduation.
Alumni play an important role in
inspiring the next generation; some
generously donate time to speak
to prospective students in their
home country or donate money
for scholarships, others offer
placements and internships.
We welcome all of our graduates
back to campus to speak so that
our current students can benefit
from their experience and advice.

students and fellow alumni to
