Keele University (Foundation Year)

Overview

Keele University Medical School offers a modern, spiral-based, integrated medical curriculum, combining a range of learning strategies including problem-based-learning, lectures and seminars. There is early clinical exposure with students being able to meet their very first patients from the initial stages of the course.

The Health Foundation Year is aimed at students whose educational and social experiences have prevented them from achieving the GCSE requirements for the standard medicine course and provides additional teaching in the first year to enable them to catch up. Students entering the Health Foundation Year will undertake a range of modules and at the end of the foundation year will need to achieve 70% or above in all these modules in order to progress to the five-year medicine programme.

Applicants who meet all of the eligibility criteria will normally be selected for interview.

Keele University is based in the small city of Stoke-on-Trent within the North Midlands.The campus itself is located on the outskirts of the city so can feel quite separate. The campus itself is very large (over 600 acres!) and has everything you need including food outlets, the students union bar, grocery store and even its own GP surgery! The advantage of this campus-based life is a strong sense of community within the university and the medical school.
Social life The campus has a range of common rooms and bars open to all students regardless of if you live on campus or not.
