International students

The fees for the academic session 2013/14 are on the next tab. The undergraduate fees are fixed at the point you start your course at Keele, so there will be no change in the fee charged to you from year to year.

Keele also allows you to pay your annual fees in two instalments at no additional cost.

* Laboratory courses referred to are: Applied Environmental Science, Applied Psychology, Astrophysics, Biochemistry, Biology, Biomedical Science, Chemistry, Computer Science, Creative Computing, Environment and Sustainability, Forensic Science, Geology, Geoscience, Human Biology, Information Systems, Medicinal Chemistry, Music, Music Technology, Neuroscience, Physical Geography, Physics, Psychology, Smart Systems

The Keele International Student Scholarship for undergraduate students is worth GBP2000 towards the cost of your annual tuition fees for the duration of your course.  Students studying a three-year degree can therefore save GBP6000 from the total cost of their degree studies. 

The Scholarships are awarded to students who can demonstrate excellence in at least two of the following areas:

* Academic qualifications,
* English Language ability,
* Understanding of the course and motivation to study at Keele,
* Extra-curricular or work experience

Please note that students studying the 5-year undergraduate degree in Medicine and the 4-year undergraduate degree in Pharmacy are not eligible for this award.

To apply for the KIS Scholarship you must have applied to Keele and been offered a place to study here.  You must then complete a separate application form (download KISS Application Form) Applications must have been received and processed before the start of academic year for which the application is made.  KIS Scholarships cannot be awarded to students who have already started their degree at Keele. 

Please note that late applications for the KISS award for September 2013/4 entry will now be considered on a case by case basis.

Early Payment Incentive

What is a KeeleCard? The KeeleCard is your official photo ID and campus smart card. It can be loaded with money at loading machines on campus or online and it can be used to pay for groceries, café and restaurant meals, printing and other services across all of the shops and food outlets at Keele. The KeeleCard gives you access to exclusive discounts on campus and you’ll soon discover that lots of companies in the UK offer student discount on presentation of a student card so your KeeleCard is something you should never leave home without!

To get your hands on a KeeleCard pre-loaded with £500 all you have to do is pay for a year of your tuition fees before September 1^st 2013. You can do this by bank transfer or over the phone with a credit card. You will find our bank details in your offer letter. Please remember to include your application number with your payment.

Please note: This offer is not valid for the International Foundation Year Programme or students transferring from StudyGroup.  Students enrolled under full sponsorship or scholarship cannot avail of this incentive. Research students are not eligible. If a student subsequently withdraws from the University, the incentive will be deducted from any refund to which they are entitled.

You’ll find £500 goes a long way at Keele so whether you use it for a caffeine kick every morning or your weekly shop in the campus supermarket, this is sure to give your budget a boost! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call the International Admissions Office on 0044 (0)1782 734896 or email International@keele.ac.uk.
