Keele University Rankings 2026

Keele University Overall Rankings 2026

Four bodies place Keele University in different ranges, and the gap between them is the headline number an Indian applicant should read first. Collegedunia, which sorts UK universities for the Indian audience, places Keele almost 450 spots ahead of where QS places it.

Keele University QS World University Rankings 2026

Keele University ranks #801-850 globally in QS World University Rankings 2026, the body that ranks universities on academic reputation, employer opinion and research citations. The three-year QS trend has drifted by roughly 60 places, but the band itself has held inside the 780-850 range.

Collegedunia Study Abroad Rankings of Keele University

Collegedunia Study Abroad places Keele University at #356 globally and #48 in the UK in 2026, a sharper position than any other major body. The Collegedunia list is built for Indian applicants and weights data on UK universities that consistently take Indian students.

Keele University Times Higher Education (THE) Rankings

Keele University holds the #501-600 band in THE World University Rankings 2026, the same band it held in the 2025 edition. THE ranks universities mainly on teaching, research environment and citation impact, and Keele’s two-year stability inside this band signals consistent academic output.

Keele University Subject Rankings

Keele University’s subject ranks are the lever Indian applicants should pull when reading this profile. Medicine, Education Studies and Law all land in stronger bands than the overall rank, while Physical Sciences sits below it.

Keele University Medicine Subject Rankings

The QS Medicine rank has moved the most of any Keele subject, climbing from #501 in 2024 to #301 in 2026. Three editions of upward movement signal a steady jump in research and clinical-training inputs.

Keele University Education Studies Ranking

Keele University sits at #251-300 globally in THE Education Studies 2026, its strongest THE subject band. The position is roughly 250 spots ahead of the overall THE band, the widest subject-vs-overall lift in the Keele profile.

For Indian PG applicants targeting MA Education, MA TESOL or similar tracks, this rank places Keele inside the top 30 percent of THE-ranked education schools globally. That is materially better than the overall band suggests and carries direct hiring weight for international school teaching jobs.

Keele University Law Subject Rankings

THE 2026 places Keele Law at #301-400 globally, while Collegedunia Study Abroad places it at #217 globally and #52 in the UK. The two bodies agree Keele Law is a mid-tier offering inside the UK pool.

For Indian LLM applicants, the THE Law band sits roughly 200 spots ahead of the overall THE rank, but the UK pool itself is dense in law schools. A Keele LLM is a defensible choice for return-to-India practice, less so for UK or US law-firm placement.

Keele University Other Subject Rankings (THE 2026)

Four of these five subjects sit ahead of or in line with the overall #501-600 band, with only Physical Sciences trailing by 300 spots. The Psychology and Life Sciences bands sit a full 100 positions ahead of the overall, which gives BSc and MSc applicants in those streams a stronger card than the headline rank.

Keele University THE Impact Rankings

Keele University ranks in the #201-300 global band of the THE Impact Rankings 2025, which scores universities on contribution to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It places Top 20 in the UK and Top 75 in the world on this body, its strongest regional position across any ranking.

Keele University’s three-year story is one of subject ranks pulling ahead of the overall band, with QS Medicine climbing 200 places and U.S. News climbing 125. For Indian applicants choosing by course rather than by global headline rank, Keele’s signal is strongest in Medicine, Education and Sustainability-linked tracks, and weakest in Physical Sciences and pure engineering.
