"The University of Worcester offers excellent courses and flexible study options, supported by high quality staff and first class, modern learning resources."
New Students, New Opportunities
Worcester leads the way in welcoming a wide range of students and offering truly useful courses. We promote lifelong learning- many of our students are mature students studying for professional and/or postgraduate qualifications. We are renowned for helping students with ability and commitment to achieve to their potential. Strong links with firms and organisations in the business, creative, education and health communities in Herefordshire, Worcestershire and the surrounding areas, complement our vocational courses. We help students achieve more.
A Happy Medium
News of the first class quality of a Worcester education is growing worldwide and has led to fast increasing numbers of students from Africa, South Asia, China and North America in particular, as well as from throughout Britain and Europe. We are big enough to offer a good range of courses and options but small enough to be concerned about each and every individual student and member of staff.
