At Keele, we are passionate about creating opportunities for students from a wide range of educational backgrounds. We recognise that potential can be demonstrated in many different ways, whether through academic study, vocational qualifications, work experience, training or other life experiences. Whether you're returning to education, exploring a new direction, or looking for a different route into university, a Foundation Year could be the perfect place to start.
