Keele University, in north west rural Staffordshire, lies in over 600 acres of landscaped parkland, fi elds, woodlands and lakes, and is one of the UK’s largest and most beautiful campuses. Whether you will be resident full-time on campus, or studying part-time, you will fi nd that Keele University is an excellent environment for your postgraduate studies.
Accommodation Campus
Full-time postgraduate students can live on campus. If you have accepted an offer of a place to study, and applied for accommodation by 30 June, then you will be guaranteed accommodation. Please note that although accommodation is not allocated and offered until early July, it is allocated on a first come, first served basis so that if you want a particular type of room you are advised to apply early.
All postgraduate accommodation on campus is for single occupancy and is let for 51 weeks (This letting period may not suit everyone, and if you want a shorter period you should seek off-campus accommodation). There are three types of room available: rooms with or without a wash-basin (with shared bathroom facilities within the block) and rooms with en suite facilities (use of own shower, wash-basin and toilet). All rooms are furnished and students have access to shared kitchen facilities for self-catering. Students are expected to provide their own bed linen (sheets, pillowcases and towels), crockery, cooking utensils and cutlery.
The annual fees for accommodation in 2006/2007 range from L2,835 for a room without a wash-basin to L4,415 for a room with en suite shower, toilet and wash-basin facilities. Students will be required to send an advance payment when an offer of a room is made, to secure the accommodation.
All student rooms are fitted with a telephone operated by Key-Com. The service is operated on a pre-paid arrangement by phone card, which can be topped up as you use your telephone. All telephones can be used for internal calls without charge, and can receive incoming calls. All rooms have a computer link installed. The service is run internally by Keele Information Services and residents can sign up to the HallsNet service. The cost is lower than using a telephone service.
The Accommodation Services website can be found here.

Disability Support
The University welcomes applications from students with disabilities. We encourage you to discuss any issues you might have with our Disability Advisers prior to making an application for study, and if you have a mobility impairment we suggest that you make a visit to the campus at an early stage. This will enable you to make an informed choice about the suitability of the institution. We have a programme of improvements to the environment but we are a large campus set on a hill and you should see the environment for yourself. We are gradually increasing the number of accessible rooms in halls of residence but once they are full we will not be able to guarantee you an accessible room.
