Our campus community

Keele is a large, green parkland campus, home to thousands of students, hundreds of staff, dozens of businesses and many, many squirrels.

Academic minds from all over the world make up a global collective, brought together in a tight-knit community surrounded by lakes, woodlands and a range of social, leisure and sports venues.  

Keele is always buzzing with activity. Connect with future employers at our careers fairs, discover new perspectives at academic conferences, or jump into the action at Keele SU’s club nights, quiz evenings and society meetups. Every event is a chance to meet people who share your interests and find your place in our community. Whether you’re looking to broaden your skills, meet new people, or just have fun, our packed events calendar ensures there’s always something to look forward to.
