Open Evening

Thursday, September 09, 2010

Open evenings are for anyone interested in finding out more about the University of Worcester; they are particularly aimed at people who might want to start a course immediately (in September or January)

You’ll find a Subject Fair and will be able to speak to staff from our registry, student services, finance and accommodation teams. Open Evenings do not feature talks and presentations, but you can take a short campus tour and meet current students. 

As it’s often possible to start a course immediately, our registry team will be available to advise on everything from entry requirements to timetables.

Thursday, September 09, 2010

Herefordshire and Worcestershire Chamber of Commerce’s Worcestershire Expo takes place on Thursday 9 September at the University of Worcester’s, St Johns Campus. It provides an ideal opportunity to learn more about the diverse and exciting range of businesses and individuals that are active in the local business community.

The event is perfect for anybody that has a keen interest in the success of their business or launching their future career.

There is also the opportunity for attendees to visit the Jobs Fair sponsored by Worcestershire County Council and to learn some invaluable business hints and tips at the informative FREE business seminars.

The keynote speaker and must attend seminar at the event is Sir Richard Needham. Sir Richard is Director for International and Commercial Affairs at Dyson, manufacturer of the world’s leading vacuum cleaner and Chairman of Avon Rubber Plc, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of military respirators.
