This is not an exhaustive list of our undergraduate courses, and we understand that you may be interested in an area that we have not listed. If this is the case, please visit our undergraduate A-Z to view our courses for 2025 2026 entry.
If you are interested in applying for another course at Keele, simply email our Admissions team who will be able to review your suitability for an alternative course. Please note, if you are interested in applying for Physiotherapy, Radiography (Diagnostic Imaging), Nursing, Paramedic Science or Social Work please provide a new personal statement of why you wish to study this course. Unfortunately we will be unable to consider applications for Midwifery, Children's Nursing, Radiography (Diagnostic Imaging) or Pharmacy at this stage. If places do become available in these subjects, we will publish these vacancies on our Clearing vacancy course list in early July.
Unfortunately it is unlikely that you will be reconsidered for your original course.
We've made it really easy for you - just reply to the email we have sent to you about considering an alternative course and we'll make the necessary arrangements.
