Welcome
Postgraduate students in Keele Management School
benefit from being taught in small groups by lecturers
who are recognised experts in their fields. This means
that we are able to play an active role in helping you
to not only reach your full academic potential but
also to develop the skills and knowledge you will
need to be successful in the workplace. In addition,
all our full-time postgraduate courses give you
the option to put your learning into practice on
an academically supervised Applied Company
Research (ACR) project*.
ACR’s are credit-bearing projects that enable you
to apply, under competitive conditions, for a real,
commercially relevant, University-agreed project for
a local organisation. This is a fantastic opportunity to
gain hands on experience in industry and to enhance
your employability skills.
Keele University is a friendly and beautiful campus
with a close-knit student community, making the
pursuit of knowledge here a truly enjoyable and
memorable experience. I look forward to welcoming
you to Keele Management School.

“I am lucky to be working on an
ACR project to develop and apply
my skills for future use. This will
help me in almost any career
path that I choose to pursue.
Specifically, I have developed an
interest in consulting as it requires
practical knowledge, research
skills, interpersonal skills, and
much, much more. I enjoy the
challenge and look forward to
further opportunities to test my
knowledge and skills in various
working environments.”
Cody Thomas, MA HRM, 2016/17
“The student walked me through
what he had done so far and
I am absolutely blown away!
He has worked hard and has
interpreted the problem and
possible solution/s with an
impressive level of understanding,
innovation and accuracy.“

Officer, Disability Solutions,
