The University of Worcester is currently shortlisted for University of the Year in the Times Higher Education Awards. Among the most prestigious accolades a university can achieve, the award honours an institution that has demonstrated exceptional performance, innovation and impact across the academic year. It is the fourth time in the last decade that Worcester has been shortlisted for the award, having previously been a finalist in 2016, 2019 and 2020.
Central to the shortlisting was the University’s track record on graduate employment and the importance placed on preparing students for the world of work.
The University of Worcester has the highest rate of sustained employment, further study or both, for any multidisciplinary university in the UK, according to the Government’s own Longitudinal Education Outcomes data 2017-2025.
