  2. What you can study

    Keele University pioneered the UK dual honours degree system, so it is a place for students who want to study two subjects together rather than commit to just one.

  4. What it costs

    The university does not publish a fee for international students here, so confirm the current tuition rate with its admissions office. Living costs in Staffordshire will depend on accommodation, travel, and everyday spending, so plan a separate budget for those.
