Meet and Greet Airport Collection Service

The Study Abroad office operates a Meet and Greet Airport Collection service for all new students who are arriving in the UK for the first time.

This service is available from Manchester Airport ONLY on Friday 18th January 2013 and will cost £15 per person.

We employ a team of friendly International Orientation Assistants, who are all current Keele University students, and some of these assistants run this service.  For this day only, the Assistants will be wearing high-visibility yellow and black t-shirts.  Look out for them in the designated areas within the airport.  They will welcome you to the UK, help you to get to our transport, and will then travel with you on the coach to the campus.  This will give you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have and get to know the people around you. 

When you arrive at the campus the Assistants will show you to the Accommodation Key Collection Area where you will be able to get the key to your room.

Please note: If you are going to be living off campus, the Assistants can direct you to public transport as we cannot drop you off at your private accommodation.                                             

How to Book:

To use this service you must complete a registration form. The form can be found at the link below: 

Meet and Greet Form

Your completed form must then be emailed to the Study Abroad office at l.j.stoker@keele.ac.uk.  Once your form has been checked we will email you to confirm your registration for the airport collection, give your allotted service departure time and also give details about where you can find our Meet & Greet team in the airport.

Registration forms will need to be completed and emailed to the Study Abroad office by Friday 4th January 2013.  Any forms sent to the Study Abroad office after the 4th January 2013 will not be accepted and any request for collection will not be actioned.

We recommend that you book a flight to the UK that is scheduled to arrive between 7am and 11am on Friday 18th January.  This is because the Meet & Greet Airport Collection Service will operate between 9.30am and 1pm only.  You will need sufficient time to clear immigration and collect your luggage before crossing the airport to join the Meet & Greet team. 

If you are unable to fly to Manchester, then you can still use the Meet & Greet Airport Collection Service providing that you arrange to travel to Manchester Aieport by public transport.
