Delivering an Effective Student Experience - a UK Perspective (Keele University)
What Colleagues can expect
Participants engaging in this programme will engage with colleagues managing a range of student services, from Counselling to Careers and everything in between. The intention is to provide colleagues with a broad view as to how students are supported in UK Higher Education. To enable this, colleagues as well as spending time at Keele the programme will include visits to other regional Universities. Each offers something different which we feel is important in ensuring that colleagues leave with a broad understanding of how things operate across our sector.
Whilst we will give a broad overview of our services we will focus in on some specific areas, these being:
- Induction and Transitions
- Peer Mentoring
- Residence Life
- Students’ Unions
The programme will include social activities which includes a Myths and Legends tour of Keele Hall and dinner in a local village pub.
We are very pleased that you have shown interest in the Student Affairs programme that we will be Coordinating at Keele University. We think it is a great opportunity for colleagues from a range of countries to come together and learn from one another about how we all support students on our own Campuses.
We are keen that you have the opportunity to learn about how we support students at Keele, but also think it important for you experience other Universities and learn from their staff and teams as to how they manage the student experience. We have, as such arranged for you to spend a day at three other Universities, all of which are somewhat different to one another. These are:
- Harper Adams University - http://www.harper-adams.ac.uk/
- Staffordshire University - http://www.staffs.ac.uk/
- Manchester Metropolitan University - http://www2.mmu.ac.uk

Hi,thanks for this amazing and detailed post.Student Accommodation Staffordshire is really good and all the details are very helpful.
ResponderEliminarAlthough some private halls will start advertising in January, the majority of students seeking to rent a house or flat will not need to start looking until much later - August or even September.
