The Official Applicants Thread for Keele 2018

How long did it take to get a response? I applied for Biology with foundation year last week Monday. (Although I'm currently doing a degree apprenticeship - I've applied for it as I've recently been undecided on whether to continue)

Ooh I didn't know this. Let us know how you do.

Yeah, will do

I actually applied to Keele for 2017 entry to study Computer Science, and it was my insurance offer, then I "released" myself from Kent and was almost about to go, Keele, as they successfully re-considered me and even had spaces left, but I chose the degree apprenticeship in the end.

Hopefully, I get an offer this time around, but I'm having doubts.

So i've had all my offers back now. I applied to do my degree with a foundation year as from what I've read if you have been out if education for more than 3 years its advisable. The other 3 unis all sent me an email/called to say they didnt believe that I need to do the foundation year! The only uni that has asked me to do the foundation year is Keele! Very irritating as I really had Keele as my top choice. Now I don't know what to do!?

Warwick, Cambridge, Birmingham and York!

Choose whichever course looks the best to you. If you believe that that foundation year is worth doing, come to Keele. If you prefer the look of some of the other course, (I.e. after looking at the module choices etc) then go with those instead.

You're the one who makes the decision. Choose the course that's best for you.

Yeah well I thought i had to do a foundation year, as ive been out of education for 6 years, and then my other 3 choices were like no, your capable of going straight into the degree course, the foundation will be a waste. So its a bit annoying as it means Keele will take an extra year compared to the others now, even though the modules on the degree itself look the most interesting.

you could always ring Keele up to see if they'd also offer you the course without fy

Anyone going to the applicant day on the 4th February?

I'm going on the 21st. The campus looks gorgeous, can't wait to see all the squirrels. How about you?

From what I've seen in pictures and videos only, I agree. It has to be one of the best looking campuses in the UK + SAME!!!!! I love squirrels as you can probably tell from my username

I've registered to go on the 4th, so excited to visit the Midlands, I've only been to Nottingham. It's very rare for me to leave Essex/London.

Hey,

I’m just wondering if anybody got an email from Keele’s International Recruitment & Development department about a Q & A call from a current student?
