UNDERGRADUATE PROSPECTUS 2016 Campus life Life on campus… Our campus is self-contained, with student and staff residences, all teaching buildings (except for some health courses) the library, restaurants and cafés, the Students’ Union, shops, a bank, a sports centre and a health centre. The community spirit is what makes life at Keele special. The student population is relatively small by UK standards and as you make your way across campus you’re sure to bump into people you know, so leave plenty of time to get to lectures! Shopping As well as three campus shops, we have a newsagent, the Students’ Union Shop, Blackwell’s Book store and Santander bank. There are also daily traders, both outside and on the ground floor of the union, selling DVDs, CDs, books, posters and make-up. On Tuesday there is a Farmers’ Market so you can pickup fresh local produce. Nursery Nursery The university has a purpose built nursery, registered with Staffordshire Social Services and Ofsted. www.keele.ac.uk/livingoffcampus/childcare Places of worship The interdenominational University Chapel provides a focus for Christian worship in a variety of styles and traditions. There is also an Islamic Centre with facilities for Muslim worship and Jewish kosher rooms. The chaplains will be happy to give information about provision in the local area for other faiths. Library services There are two libraries one on campus and the other at the Royal Stoke University Hospital. Both have free Wi-Fi and offer a choice of silent or group study spaces. The campus library is open 24/7 during semesters. Although both libraries are available to all students, the Health library at the Royal Stoke University Hospital mainly supports Nursing, Midwifery and Medical students. www.keele.ac.uk/library/info/newstudents rket Superma 20
