Good Honours degree (normally 2.2 or above); plus a portfolio of work submitted to the admissions tutor (usually the programme director); a high quality portfolio will take precedence over a first degree and may be taken as evidence of APEL: it should consist of 10-15 poems and/or 5000-6000 words of prose; if it is considered of sufficient quality, the admissions tutor passes it on to 1 of the creative writing tutors specialising in the genre chosen by the applicant; that tutor then recommends an interview, on which the final decision is based; up to 30 credits from a comparable programme may be taken as APCL.
Set in over 600 acres of parkland in the north Midlands, midway between Birmingham and Manchester, Keele is one of the largest single-site campus universities in the UK.
A one-hundred acre area of the estate, adjacent to the 19th Century Keele Hall, has conservation status confirmed by the local Borough Council. The campus also holds Grade II listed status from English Heritage.
Keele also has a small academic campus at the University Hospital of North Staffordshire, which houses both educational activities and research.
Keele is a green campus, with sustainability as a focus, building upon excellence in teaching, research, and award-winning energy management practices.
Local buses run between campus, the hospital site and surrounding towns every 10-20 minutes.
