The lecturers are super helpful with any inquiries you may have, even if you believe it’s a stupid question it doesn’t hurt to ask. The clubs and societies are a great way to make friends with similar interest or hobbies. read more

Timetabling and organisation are far from good most of the time, and scheduled lectures on Teams don’t always mean that a lecturer will attend to present. Organisation of placement and time spent doing relevant, placement-related tasks was not productive for a large proportion of the time (year 1). Lectures can be very lengthy (3 1/2 hours - both in-person and on Teams) and the content “taught” does not always match the way in which would provide the best, meaningful learning opportunities, especially as this is a practical course and practical job. There are some brilliant lecturers, mostly those who have teaching qualifications and understand the teaching and learning cycles, and how opportunities to embed learning are important. However, this is not the case for all modules and all lecturers. read more

After being insanely indecisive about uni I love it at Keele, the grounds are gorgeous for walking around when stressed out and the academic mentors and careers team are very helpful, and I love the people I've met here. However the SU has gone down hill a bit this year with worse events and turnout. read more

For a campus uni i didnt expect the events to be particularly good however they were amazing, the SU nights out were always great, there is good access to lots of facilities across campus and they are definitely up to standard. My only concern is that the careers team are hard to access, i struggled to find how to contact them. But once i did they were helpful, Its a fab uni read more

My accommodation was good, some things were broken bur they were quickly fixed by maintenance. The accommodation is extortionate and my maintenance loan didn't cover all of the fees. If there was a slightly larger shop on campus such as an aldi that would be helpful as campus is quite far from newcastle under Lyme. The SU holds lots of good events, some have now stopped though. Overall the campus is very nice, lots of walks and the shops available are good. read more
