Keele University Prospectus Undergraduate | 2016

UNDERGRADUATE PROSPECTUS 2016 Applying to Keele Applications for all undergraduate courses at Keele should be made through UCAS. See www.ucas.com or page 229 for further details. Specific guidance is given under the course entry profiles. Applications are dealt with in the order that they arrive from UCAS. Any query you may have on your application should be addressed to either the UK/EU Admissions Office or the International Admissions Office in the first instance. At Keele, we do not operate a system of standard offers; we judge all applications on their individual merits and take account of all the information provided on the UCAS application form, including: predicted grades, AS-level results if certificated, the referee’s report, personal statement, GCSE results and non-academic achievements. We welcome applications from candidates with non-traditional qualifications and will take into consideration prior learning, experience and alternative qualifications. Applicants are normally required to have completed a period of study in the last three years. We do not have preferred or specified subject combinations. We welcome applicants whose studies cross traditional boundaries e.g. science/arts combinations, but equally we are happy to consider applicants whose studies are in more cognate areas. We are happy to consider applications for deferred entry for the majority of our courses, provided that you have constructive plans for your year out. Under the UCAS scheme, it is not possible to defer entry for more than one year.
