Keele University
Keele University was established in 1949 by the former Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University. Founded to meet the needs of a changing world, Keele has always had a pioneering vision to be a different kind of university.
We excel in both teaching and research, with some of the most satisfied students in England, and research that is changing lives for the better at a regional, national and global level.
Our beautiful 600-acre campus is one of the biggest in Britain – but all the most important services and facilities are on your doorstep, with accommodation, teaching spaces, facilities including a medical centre, sports centre and pharmacy, and a range of shops, eateries and entertainment venues – including the Students’ Union – clustered around the centre.
- Britain's best university, as ranked by students (No.1 in the UK, StudentCrowd University Awards, 2022
- Global sustainability institution of the year (International Green Gown Awards, 2021)
- Top 10 in England for overall student satisfaction (NSS 2021, broad-based public universities)
- 96% Keele graduate employability (HESA, 2017)
Keele University prides itself in offering students dual honours degrees and actively encourages each student to pick two subjects to broaden their knowledge and skillset. Courses are highly flexible and there are a good range of undergraduate and postgraduate qualifications on offer.
Everything’s on your doorstep at Keele, with all the most important services and facilities gathered together at the centre of campus. And because our student population is quite small, there’s a great sense of community.
You’ll soon feel at home, and you’ll make and meet friends wherever you go.
Whether you're moving away from home for the first time or joining Keele from another university, making sure you have accommodation that’s right for you will be a high priority. As a campus university, Keele has over 3,000 bedrooms on site, all within a short walk of the main facilities.
Visiting Keele University is a great way of finding out whether its the right place for you. A number of different open days take place throughout the year and you can use this opportunity to meet with students, visit the facilities and learn what sort of things you'll be studying on your course.
