Research and Enterprise - Knowledge for Life

Keele University places a high value on excellent research and supports internationally competitive expertise throughout the Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, Health and Humanities.

Our position as a university with research of an international standard was underlined in the latest UK-wide Research Assessment Exercise (RAE).  Some 85% of the research assessed through the RAE is now classified as world leading and of international importance.

We are proud of our achievements in high quality, multidisciplinary research and in the application of research knowledge to beneficial outcomes – whether in combating malaria or arthritis, in social care or environmental sustainability.

Research students

The Graduate School co-ordinates the University’s work with research students. It works closely with the Research Institutes to ensure that students receive a high quality programme. It also oversees the training and development of contract research.

Research Institutes

Seven multidisciplinary research institutes support the University’s research activities. They enable the University to focus resources and effort on areas of research strength and manage all research funding. All academic staff who are active in research belong to a research institute.

You can find out more about our varied research activities from the Research Institute pages.
