For details of our entry requirements, see A Guide to Keele's Courses and the relevant course leaflet.
You should complete an application form (MS Word Format) and let us have two copies, together with two copies of additional documents which will confirm your qualifications (copies of certificates and transcripts). We will also need two references, from referees who can comment on your academic and professional work as appropriate. You may use a reference form which can be downloaded here (MS Word format).
An application form (PDF) and an equal opportunities form (PDF) may also be downloaded in Adobe PDF format if you prefer to write your application manually and post it to us. Acrobat Reader can be downloaded free from Adobe from the link below.
The application form will require the following information:
. relevant qualifications and results to date, including copies of certificates and transcripts where possible
. details of any courses you are completing at the time the application is submitted - if you are currently completing an undergraduate degree or equivalent and have transcripts of your progress, please submit these with your application
. where appropriate, details of employment and professional experience
. a personal statement demonstrating clearly why you are applying for the course, the nature of your interest in it, and what benefits you expect to gain
. the names of two referees and from each of these a reference placed in a sealed envelope with the signature of the referee across the seal (a reference form is available for this purpose and may be used to provide a reference, although its use is not required)
You will also be asked to complete a separate form indicating your ethnicity and any disability. This is for the purposes of equal opportunities monitoring and will not be taken into account in making any academic decisions on your application.
You can complete and send an application form online but you must post, fax or email copies to us of transcripts and certificates. We can accept emailed references submitted from the referee's email address only, which must be from a corporate or academic domain (eg @keele.ac.uk) and not from a free email account. All applications should be sent to the Postgraduate Office.
Please note that we cannot acknowledge receipt of applications.
There is no closing date for applications, with one exception, as follows. For international applicants for Neuromusculoskeletal Healthcare there is an applications closing date of 30 June 2007, and we will only consider applications from applicants who meet all conditions of entry to the course and supply all their relevant documentation to us by 31 July 2007. Forms may be submitted at any time during the year. However, we advise that applications for courses that start in September should, if possible, be made by the end of March. If you would wish to live on campus it is particularly important that you apply early. If you apply later than one month before the start of your intended course, we cannot guarantee that all the paperwork will be completed by the start date. |
