Keele University Prospectus Postgraduate | 2017 | Page 2

We’re Keele
University
and we’re
different
Founded more than 60 years ago
to meet the demands of a new
kind of society, economy and world,
our principles resonate now more
than ever.
We are a campus university, 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 successively
rank at the very top of student satisfaction surveys. This is
because it’s more than a place of research and academic
excellence, it’s green and lovely too.
Whether it’s Medicine and Health Sciences, Humanities and
Social Sciences or Natural Sciences, whatever your area
of study, we deliver a unique and international learning
experience. We provide students with the support they need,
teach in small groups and value the quality of our teaching
as highly as our research.
For postgraduates our rural campus community provides an
environment that is focused, relevant and mature. You will
have full access to our respected academics. You will benefit
from a reputation for excellence in research. Our Institute
of Liberal Arts and Sciences will provide you with a hub for
debate, academic enquiry, interdisciplinary collaboration,
as well as fresh thinking for the great challenges the world
faces today.
It’s little wonder our students and alumni are as individual
as the University itself; progressive and accomplished, clear
about who they are and what they want to be, equipped to
meet some of the big challenges the world today presents,
for the good of society and enterprise.

It’s the Keele difference.
