About us

Thank you for your interest in the University of Worcester

Going to university is an important investment in your future. It is crucial that you choose the course and the university which is right for you.

Over recent years, the number of people applying to study at Worcester has increased at a very much faster rate than at any other university in Britain.

Worcester has become so popular because we have:

Every person counts

As a university concentrating on helping students achieve their best, we place great importance on combining enduring human values with true professionalism. We make it clear from the beginning that we have high expectations of all our students and all our staff.

This is a university where each and every person counts as an individual and is valued as an important member of our dynamic, responsible, high-achieving community. Worcester enjoys a national reputation as a very friendly place at which people are genuinely happy.

Outstanding graduate employment

As important, Worcester graduates are in the top ten nationally for graduate employment – based in part on our uniquely successful commitment to provide opportunities to help Worcester students ‘earn as you learn’.

We will support you whenever needed, with excellent counselling, guidance, welfare and support. Professor David Green Vice Chancellor and Chief Executive

Relevant courses

In today’s economic climate, the practical relevance of our courses is more important than ever. We combine excellent academic quality with the University’s strong workplace links with businesses, hospitals, schools and other public, private and community organisations. These links open up exceptional work placement, project and volunteering opportunities for our students.

Listening to our students

The culture and outlook of the University means we listen very carefully to what students say about their studies and university life generally. Our courses and facilities are continually improved to take advantage of the very latest thinking, technology, evidence and research.

Excellent facilities

The University has a well-managed, fully funded £100m investment programme to provide for new, improved and refurbished facilities. Recently completed projects include our new City Campus, home to the Worcester Business School.

In 2012 we will open Britain’s first university and public library which will provide a first class, truly inclusive, internationally acclaimed resource for students, staff and the wider community.

The community spirit we have here at Worcester is renowned. Our staff and students are proud to be working and studying at the University. If you apply to study with us, and are selected, you will be warmly encouraged to become part of a thriving social, cultural and sporting environment. At the same time, you will gain the intellectual and practical skills and qualifications you need to succeed in today’s world.

We will support you whenever needed, with excellent counselling, guidance, welfare and support.

Your choice of university is one of the biggest decisions you will ever make, so please ask us every question you have about studying here. Explore this website, arrange a campus visit, quiz our friendly staff and students and find out whether Worcester is right for you.

This really is a very special place to study.
