Hi everyone, i have firm Keele and apply for the accomodation, does anyone knows when or how the DBS and the health checks are done, i havent received any email about and i have no idea what i need to do.

Hi can you advise on personal statement for keele. I’ll be applying this year to Keele for medicine

Hi @Chris-19
I am in the same process myself. As far as I know. By contacting the university myself. Keele university have an application process. The University waited until results day from all college students. If you have received an email confirming your place on your course and within the email it states you will receive another email about welcome week and in due course you will be contacted by a member of the admissions team to discuss the next step (I.e. DBs check, occupational health check) then you need to await an email with a link about how to apply for the enhanced DBS check and what the next stage of the application is. After you're DBS check is cleared. Then you will be contacted by the occupational health team by email after you have sent your DBS check by email to the university. Where you will then need to fill in a occupational health form that they send to you to fill in prior to an appointment in person to meet someone who will then pass your occupational health check of being fit for work and you will also be sent an email about enrollment and how to enrol online on their system and get your student ID badge. I hope this helps it's what I've been told. Congratulations for becoming a Keele University student and best wishes for the future.

Hi @Gops 2007
How did you get on with your personal statement?
I found to stay true to yourself and being honest was the best. Making it look very professional. And relating your skills and work experience or studies to your course and career choice. Demonstrate your knowledge of medicine and your interests and strengths and what you like to do in your spare time. I hope you got on to the course you wanted?

anyone planning to apply for adult nursing 2026?
