Independent Visits - Keele University

Making an Independent Visit to Keele

Visiting during School Holidays and at the Weekend

If you are unable to visit on one of the Open/Visit Days you are welcome to look around the campus on an informal visit.

On request, we can arrange for a campus map with travel directions, a parking permit and self-guided tour leaflet to be sent in advance of an informal visit. Alternatively, you can download the Campus Guide and Map .

For details of how to get here see Travel Directions or download Keele University colour campus map and guide. If you are coming to Keele by car, we can give you a parking permit that can be used in our pay and display car parks. Please let us know if you need a parking permit.

You are welcome to visit the campus during the school holidays and if your visit is in office hours (between 9.00 - 1.00pm and 2.00pm - 5.00pm), please call into the Recruitment, Outreach and Access Office (based in the IC2 Building). We can answer any general queries you have about the University, and provide you with a pack of information including a self-guided tour leaflet.

To book your independent visit, please complete this booking form.

We will be able to create a pack for you to pick up when you arrive at Keele. The pack will contain your subject leaflets, some information about accommodation and finance and a self-guided map so you are able to find your way around the university. You are welcome to call into the academic school office - but we recommend you contact them in advance to see if there is anyone available on the day of our visit. To find out who the point of contact is, please visit the course list.

If you are coming on a weekday, please come to the IC2 Building's Reception and inform the member of staff of your name and let them know you are here on an independent visit. You can park in the IC2 Visitors car park while you collect your pack but will need to move to the pay and display car park.

If you are visiting on a weekend, please come to the Darwin Building's Reception and again let the member of staff know you are here for an independent visit and your name.

The University is an open campus and you are welcome to view the following buildings so you can see some of the facilities and services available to our students:

    * The Students' Union

    * Library and Information Services Building

    * Leisure Centre

    * Chancellor's Building which includes many of the lecture theatres and the University Art Gallery

If you would like some refreshments during your visit, you could try Le Café in the Chancellor's Building, Vite and Eat also in the Chancellor's Building for a quick snack or walk down to the Students' Union.

For those of you arriving by bus, when you come to leave the campus to catch the bus back to Stoke station, you should wait at the stop by the Students' Union.

Please note that during vacation periods the institution will be hosting a range of conferences. It will not usually be possible to arrange visits to meet with academic staff or with current students (unless, for example, a student is studying overseas and has been unable to make an event).
