WELCOME | 7 The University received its Royal Charter in 1962 with a commitment to meet the demands of a new kind of society, economy and world; today we still live by that commitment. Positioned in the top 4% of universities world-wide; 97% of our research was judged as world leading or of international importance in the Research Excellence Framework 2014. Our postgraduate programmes are designed to provide you with deep insights and develop critical thinking in your areas of interest. Whether you are looking to boost your career prospectus in your current field, change career direction, undertake postgraduate study for personal interest or a combination of all three, a postgraduate qualification from Keele will help you grow as a scholar, professional and person. With our 600-acre campus, where our students value the strong sense of community, we deliver a supportive and welcoming environment, where every individual matters and where academic teaching and learning can flourish. Uniquely we also have an Institute of Liberal Arts and Sciences, which is a hub for interdisciplinary collaboration, debate and academic enquiry. We want to help you to make the right choice for you. Our prospectus is just an introduction, but to really understand Keele you need to pay us a visit. For postgraduate students we offer Open Afternoons, where you can look around the campus and meet our academic staff. “Keele is a forward- thinking university, seeking ambitious students to join us and be part of the Keele difference and make a difference to the future world we live in.” Professor Trevor McMillan Vice-Chancellor keele.ac.uk
