From the lecture theatre to valuable work placements, employability is embedded throughout. Located near both a vibrant university town and a bustling city, Keele is a global community for both academic and personal growth.

There’s always something happening on campus, whether it’s a gig at the Students’ Union, vintage market in Union Square, open mic night at the Keele Postgraduate Association, or one of our regular sporting fixtures - you’ll never be short of things to do. And when you need space to think, our 600 acres of woodland, gardens and lakes are the perfect setting for a spot of reflection and relaxation.

What makes us different

Located in the Staffordshire countryside, but within easy reach of a bustling town, vibrant city and our noisy neighbours of Manchester and Birmingham, Keele offers the best of both worlds: a close-knit campus community and an exciting local area to explore. 

Our world-class teaching and research facilities support students as they expand their knowledge and develop future-proof career skills. That’s why we continue to invest, providing innovative teaching and state-of-the-art spaces such as our £34m Central Science Laboratories, Smart Innovation Hub and the Harper & Keele Veterinary School. 

There are many ways to enhance your career prospects at Keele. For our undergraduate courses starting in September 2025, every course* offers a placement opportunity. Many of our courses include the opportunity to study abroad, learn a foreign language, take a work placement, or enhance your degree through elective modules and volunteering.

*excluding Apprenticeships and 'top-up' degrees.
