"Studying at Keele University has been an enriching experience. The campus's serene atmosphere and modern facilities have provided the perfect environment. The availability of resources like the 24-hour library and the Bloomberg terminal has been invaluable, allowing me to access real-time financial data and deepen my understanding of the subject. One aspect that truly sets Keele apart is the support it provides for students' career development and the genuine interest in the progress of their students by ensuring we receive the support and guidance needed to succeed academically. My experience as an international student at Keele University has been remarkable. I am grateful for the opportunities and experiences that Keele has offered me, and I look forward to applying the knowledge and skills gained here in my future endeavors. "
"The environment is clean and fabulous. There is an excellent rapport between tutors and students. I like the social aspect of Keele as there are various social events and places to unwind."

"Coming here, it was like you’re dreaming and then seeing the dream come true. I entered Keele, and everything is green and cool. So it’s okay in terms of academic too, I’ve attended some lectures and the conversation has been okay – it’s kind of a friendly interaction between you and your colleagues, even the lecturers! It’s a big difference to where I come from and I appreciate the fact that I have an opportunity to learn in this kind of system."
