What are Electives?
Electives at Keele gives Keele students a unique opportunity to acquire the skills they need to succeed in their degrees and to extend their degree studies beyond their main subjects. As an international student, English Language Unit modules offered through Electives allow you to focus on developing the specific English language skills that will be vital to your success at Keele.
Your Principal subjects will make up between 60 and 120 credits of the 120 credits you will take in your first year, elective modules will make up the rest. You will take elective modules to the value of between 15 and 60 credits, depending upon your chosen Principal course, to enable you to study a total of 120 credits.
