Keele University welcomes students from universities with whom it does not operate student exchange programmes. Study Abroad students or Junior Year Abroad (JYA) students are treated in the same way as exchange or erasmus students as far as practical arrangements and academic requirements are concerned. They are guaranteed accommodation on the campus if they apply by 31 July 2004 for courses commencing in September 2004 and by 1 October for classes starting in January 2005. However, as students are not exchanged Study Abroad students are required to pay tuition fees at either the European Union or overseas rate. Courses are taught by lectures, seminars, tutorials and, where appropriate, laboratory classes. Student work is assessed by essays, reports and examinations. Much of the teaching time is spent in tutorial and seminar groups of 8-15 students. Considerable emphasis is placed on independent study and, in the Humanities and Social Sciences especially, courses demand original research and thought. Contact time in class may be less than in other countries but in view of the preparation required, this does not lead to a loss of credit rating. There are Academic Advisers and Study-Skills seminars to help students adjust to this pattern of self-disciplined study. Less
