Prospective Students

The Research Institutes for Humanities and Social Sciences are a thriving academic community made up of active researchers in a wide variety of areas.

We welcome postgraduate research students from around the world as members of this community and provide support and facilities to enable them to achieve their full potential in a stimulating and lively environment.

The Research Institutes pride themselves on the high standard of facilities they are able to offer its postgraduates including well equipped office space, postgraduate seminars, an annual postgraduate conference, social events and a weekly “reflections” group where postgraduate issues can be explored in an informal atmosphere.

The inter-disciplinary nature of the Institutes provide excellent opportunities for networking both with other postgraduates and with the academic staff at Keele, thus enabling postgraduate researchers to participate fully in all aspects of the research process.

Research students are a very valuable part of the Research Institutes. We aim to provide an environment where your research can develop and flourish.
