RESEARCH INSTITUTES | 71
“Having completed my MRes at Keele, to continue
my studies at PhD level was an opportunity too
good to miss. The interest taken in my research by
my supervisors and by Keele's academic community
more widely has meant that, although PhD research
is a singular activity, I have never felt isolated.”
P. Collinge, PhD Student in History
Humanities and Social Sciences
are becoming increasingly critical
to aid our understanding of our
social, political, economic and
cultural societies that make up
today's changing world.
At Keele, we are proud of the
excellent research that takes
place, within our Schools’
research centres, including:
• Humanities
• Law
• Social Science & Public Policy
• SPIRE - Politics, Philosophy
International Relations
and Environment
• Keele Management School
Our students benefit from first-
rate office facilities, funding
for training and attending
conferences, an outstanding
library, access to loan equipment
such as laptops, iPads, digital
recorders and cameras and a
stimulating and lively intellectual
and social environment.
We are members of two
prestigious postgraduate
research consortia, funded by the
Economic and Social Research
Council (ESRC), and the Arts &
Humanities Research Council
(AHRC). Students at Keele have
access to training and network
opportunities with our academic
partners across the North West
of England.
We award a number of fully
funded studentships to excellent
candidates each year. The last
Research Excellence Framework
(REF2014) Judged 96% of
the Faculty’s research to be
internationally excellent.
In the last 5 years, we have won
grants worth over £4.5 million
from major funders including the
UK Research Councils, the EU,
Government, businesses and
leading charities.
