Adjusting to a new environment can be difficult for all students but more so if you are thousands of miles from home. Whilst we hope that your time spent at Keele will be trouble-free, help is available should you have problems of an academic, financial or personal nature. Keele has an International Student Support Officer who can advise international students on a range of issues and help them to access the relevant support services at Keele. He can be contacted as follows:
John Morris
International Student Support Officer
42 The Covert
Keele University
Email: aaa35@keele.ac.uk
Fax: +44 1782 583998
For students who choose to live on campus, each Hall of Residence has a team of Resident Tutors who can provide support and advice on practical and personal issues, or point you in the direction of someone who can help you if they are unable to.
The Counselling Service is run by professionally trained counsellors, both male and female, who have between them wide experience of counselling students from many different cultures and countries.
Whilst we strongly recommend you ensure, before leaving Keele, that you have the necessary funds available to support your stay here, should you run into difficulties financial advice is available from money advice workers based in the University.
The Students' Union, of which all full-time students are members, runs an Independent Advice Unit staffed by trained advisors offering confidential and impartial advice and support on a range of issues, including assistance with immigration issues and free legal advice. |
