Keele University

Keele | West Midlands

Ucas code: K12

At Keele University, we’re different. Nestled in 600 acres of countryside in the heart of the UK, we have a big campus but a small and cosmopolitan community. We’re proud to be joint No.1 in England for course satisfaction in the Guardian University League Table 2019, in addition to being consistently ranked in the top three in the National Student Survey (NSS), of broad-based universities in England.This is because it’s more than green and lovely, it’s a place of research and academic excellence too.

  Course
  
  The course is good but there is a lot more focus on the biological and cognitive side of psychology. The lecturers are good and always available over email; we also have teaching fellows who are like a t.a and they have office hours and provide support too for work. Feedback of work is okay, usually takes about three weeks to receive it and if you have any problem the module leader is always available to discuss in more detail. The assessments are reasonable but you may find that they are close together. Exams are good as they tend to either be multiple choice exams or essays, mainly multiple choice though.

  Well I’d advise to start looking in November/December time just to get the best places as a lot of students will start after Christmas. It wasn’t hard just make sure you view the house and ask questions.
