Keele University

Peaceful accommodation, great quality teaching with plenty of support, and a wonderful student union with plenty of opportunities for socializing.

Amazing course, relaxing and welcoming location.

I had a great time at Keele University. The campus is beautiful, and my accommodation at Holly Cross was perfect. I enjoyed the social aspects in the Student Union and the variety of clubs and societies available. The course was well taught, providing plenty of opportunities to practice and implement what was being learned. The spiral curriculum was beneficial for my learning, allowing me to build on previous knowledge instead of forgetting it after exams.

Keele University has a lot going for it. I wouldn't say it's biggest selling point, but certainly up there is its location. Set within beautiful grounds and countryside you couldn't wish for a nicer place to study.
If you want a more urban life you are a single bus away from Hanley or Newcastle Under Lyme, though the campus caters very well with a bar and other amenities.
The study facilities and quality of lecturers in my area was second to none, with some great research opportunities, and a commitment to sustainability, with internships and reattach opportunities connected to its sustainability hub.
I can highly recommend Keele University to anyone who wishes to study here.

So much hands on experince. Great opportunity to meet friends. Lovely new vet building

Harper keele have really done their best to improve the uni experience throughout covid, as we were their first cohort and also in the middle of the pandemic! We've had loads of perks to make up for it and they still like to surprise us with pizza in the vet school occasionally

Good course good lecturers great people

The accomodation at keele has been amazing and sufficient, with great cilities, cleaning and spport for any difficulties technically or in the rooms. The course I am studying has great support for students inside and outside academia, with teaching that is specific and spiral curriculum to ensure knowledge is always up to standard. In terms of social lfe, the Keeles student union thows great events for a good night out to unwind and de-stres with external guests, good music and supportive staff.

The most incredible experience, top 5 of my whole life! I met the most incredible friends and settled into the most amazing university life. Keele really is the life and soul of the party and I loved every single second of what Keele had to offer during freshers week (and for the 4 years that followed!) - The best! I stayed in halls for two/four years I was at Keele: my first year and my third year. I loved staying in halls. I was able to make the place my own (pictures hung up, things stuck on the wall etc etc.). I was extremely happy with the people I lived with and I felt content with my environment and surroundings. The university accommodation is close to the campus and therefore lectures etc. Everyone is very friendly and I had the time of my life! The library was fantastic! It is HUGE. I would enter the library and spend a lot of time in there. I was pleased with the resources offered to me and the space in there is insane (and extremely modern too!). The classrooms are comfortable, modern and spacious, which I was happy with. The SU ... the SU was my favourite place! It is the BEST night out. Everyone knows everyone and there is therefore such a community feel to the place. Everything is extremely well priced and the food on offer is also incredible. The SU was my favourite place on campus by far - some of the best memories of my entire life were had in that place, amazing. I LOVED my course (Education and film studies, followed by a PGCE at Keele to study primary education). The lectures were helpful, funny, highly intelligent and inspiring people. They offered 1:1 support on a regular basis and would always be there for guidance both with regards to academia, but also for social and emotional support too. I learned so much on my course and achieved a very respected First Class Honours degree. The course I took truly shaped my experience at Keele, the offer of exam based modules and modules which heavily relied on coursework enables the course to be catered for all. I found the learning aspect very fun and very helpful in shaping my future career in teaching. I am very grateful to Keele for this. I LOVE the city. I loved the city that much I actually decided to stay here and began my career in teaching here too. There are amazing nightclubs, restaurants, cinemas ... everything! There is always something to do. Lovely walks around the Keele campus and local areas such as Trentham Gardens. Escape rooms, tea rooms, a Ninja Warrior course, the list goes on and on. Keele is also close to Liverpool and Manchester, just a train journey away! The best place.

Absolutely chaotic our flat had the police, security and almost the paramedics around. Freshers was great regardless though. There was loads of events going on and we had hall reps coming over introducing themselves and helping us settle. I was in holly cross we had en-suite, cleaners and a large kitchen which we shared with 7 other people. The fire alarm testing every Wednesday at 9am was very annoying but the rooms were spacious and comfortable. The student union has a large variety of clubs and sports you can join, there's tryouts for almost every sport you can think off. Classrooms were comfortable and had a good vibe to them and the library is enormous with large rooms and lots of study rooms available. Lecturers were always understanding if you couldn't attend and are very open about giving feedback to improve the course. First year psychology is pretty much what was learnt in college but with a little extra detail which allowed for an easy transition. Stoke has really fat pigeons honestly you move for them not the other way round. Lots of shops close by including , lidl, Asda, Sainsbury's and maccies.
