Welcome to the Foundation Year at Keele

Here are a few key points to help you prepare for your time here and welcome you to the Foundation Year. If you have any questions which are not answered on this page, then please do feel free to call in.  We are based in a cosy bungalow where all staff are happy to help you.  

Finding your way around

You can use this Keele University colour campus map and guide to find your way around. The Foundation Year Centre is based in Bungalow 77 (building 20 on the map). If at any time you do not know where you should be, cannot find a room, miss a session or need any help at all, please call in. It won't take long to feel at home.

Your first week

The academic year is divided into two semesters. There will be an induction in your first week with sessions and activities designed to help you start your course, settle in and get to know people.

The introductory session for your Foundation Year is essential as this is where you will be told what is happening in the induction week  and confirm which modules you will be taking, so must not be missed. On Monday 30 September 2013 please go to Lennard Jones building Room LJ 1.75 (Building 17 on the Campus Map):

• Health, Humanities, Social Science, Science, VIFY Foundation Years, and the International Degree Programme from 9.30 - 12 am
• One-year General Foundation Year and International Foundation Year students from 2 - 4 pm 

What will you need?

• Diary
• Notepaper
• Pens, pencils and eraser
• Pencil sharpener
• Ruler
• Computer memory stick

We'll let you know if you'll need anything else, including any textbooks soon after you start.  There will be copies of textbooks in the library and in the campus bookshop.

You will each be allocated a Personal Tutor during the induction week who will be one of the following:
