Fast-track application process

1: Current Keele students (fast-track)

Current students should apply for postgraduate taught courses through e:Vision for fast-track application.

• Log in to your e:Vision account
• Select ‘Continue your studies with a postgraduate taught degree’ under Graduate Opportunities
• Choose your year of entry and preferred course, then click ‘Apply’

International students: Before applying, please email our Admissions Team (admissions@keele.ac.uk) with the name of the course you are interested in.

2: Recent graduates (fast-track)

Graduated from Keele within the last three years? Many of our courses offer a fast-track application process.

To apply, simply email pgt.apply@keele.ac.uk with the following details:

• Full name
• Date of birth
• Keele student number (if known)
• Postgraduate course you wish to study

Application deadlines: The fast-track route is available until 15 December for January starts and 31 August for September starts. If you apply after these dates, you'll need to use the standard online application process via the 'Apply Now' button on your chosen postgraduate course webpage.

Eligibility: The fast-track route is only available for full-time and part-time study routes, not modular routes. It is for graduates who achieved a 2:2 or above in their undergraduate degree, and meet the course specific entry requirements. 

Eligible courses: the graduate fast-track process is available for courses in the Faculty of Natural Sciences, Faculty of Business, Law, Humanities and Social Sciences, and the Public Health programme. Other programmes in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences are not eligible, and should be applied for in the usual way.

What happens after you apply?

Once your application has been submitted, our Admissions Team will review it to ensure you meet any subject-specific or additional* entry requirements. If successful, you will receive an offer of a place.

Applying does not commit you to study. If you receive a conditional offer, you can still decide not to take up your place before enrolment, or within 14 days of starting your course. Please note that some courses have application deadlines, so it is advisable to check the details of your chosen programme.

*Some programmes include extra requirements, such as additional forms, documents or an interview.
