UNLOCKING YOUR POTENTIAL
THE VALUE OF A UNIVERSITY EDUCATION
We believe passionately in inclusion. Everyone who has the talent and ability to benefit from a university education should have the chance to earn their degree and go on to contribute to society as a well-educated professional person.
A university education is a springboard for life. It is about gaining a qualification and a highly-prized degree, and it offers so much more. As well as the deep knowledge and transferable skills you will gain from your studies, university helps you flourish as a person, uncover fresh perspectives and learn how to learn.
The transformative power of a university education enables graduates, on average, to earn more, have higher interpersonal trust, better health and happiness over their lifetime.
AN INCLUSIVE APPROACH We believe in a strong community, where people support and care for each other, teach the next generation and take action on important issues. This approach, where every individual both counts and contributes, is the key reason why Worcester graduates are in the top ten in the country for sustained employment.
Worcester graduates make a vital contribution to society as nurses, midwives, teachers, scientists, counsellors and coaches. Our entrepreneurs, actors, authors and artists enrich our culture and have a dynamic impact on society, health, wealth and wellbeing.
CHOOSING TO STUDY AT WORCESTER Your choice of university is one of the biggest decisions you will ever make. Do plenty of research, ask every question, and visit each university you are considering.
Take your time to read through this prospectus; explore the University website and social media channels; arrange a visit and find out whether the University of Worcester is right for you.
We hope you will find your inspiration with us.

TIPS FOR A DAY IN TOWN
A STUDENT’S GUIDE TO LIFE IN WORCESTER
Words by Taylor Cornes | Pictured in a popular restaurant next to campus
Worcester, for me, is the perfect size. It has all the benefits of a city, but with the friendly atmosphere of a small town. It’s a real student city too – one in ten people who live here are students, and there’s a lot of character because of its rich history. I love this mix of old and new. In the evening, the ‘historic quarter’ around New Street and Friar Street, famous for its Tudor buildings, becomes the ‘social quarter’ as the many restaurants and bars open their doors.
CINEMA: also a great street market in town every There are two cinemas in Worcester.
