I would just like to give credit
to the wonderful Foundation
Year team for their constant
support to all students who each
are different in many aspects,
whether it’s the teaching staff,
module leaders, personal tutors
or the lovely ladies who collect
our work in. Many of the staff
have brought a smile to my face.
I am very proud to have been
a Foundation Year student at
Keele University as we can ask
you many questions as long as
we regularly keep up with the
workload and email checking.
I have had a beautiful year at
Keele University.
