WELCOME TO KEELE UNIVERSITY


We hope that you will have an enjoyable and worthwhile
day.

The programme is fairly informal so you can select the
elements you feel would be most helpful to you. If you
have not visited Keele before, then the introductory talk
will give you an overview of what the University has to
offer.

Do talk to the student guides about living and studying at
Keele, and they will be happy to take you on a tour of
campus and show you a typical student room in hall.

Remember if you cannot find the information you need,
please come to the reception desk in the Chancellors
Building. We have listed useful web addresses and
telephone numbers at the end of this programme in case
you need to get in touch at a later date.
