The story so far...

Experience 80 years of Worcester through the voices who lived it.

Ben Calvert
Worcester taught me that education isn’t just about knowledge.It’s about being seen, being valued and growing into who you’re meant to be.
He was a man of vision. He told us, one day, “I want Worcester to be a University”.Never in our wildest dreams did we ever think that it would be.

My time studying at Worcester was life changing.I learned things beyond my imagination, and when I look back, I realise I wouldn’t have succeeded anywhere else.
Studying at the University of Worcester has opened so many doors for me.It has changed everything, from my confidence to my ability.
