The University of Worcester excided all my expectations coming to uni. Especially as an international student. I met so many wonderful people and working for them whilst studying was probably the best job I have had. The people are simply the best, so friendly and welcoming.

For instance they was a job opportunity that I really wanted to apply for as a student but I couldn’t because my university was not listed. This could be because of its location, it is not as famous as other universities or the ranking is not high enough.

There is plenty of support available, a wide range of books and journals available in the library and online for students to access. Tutors for the course are amazing in the way they deliver the information and support students. My classes were just the right size so that everyone could engage in class discussions and group work. I excelled my expectations with grades thanks to my tutors’ help and the content they deliver. Overall, my experience was fantastic and I can only recommend this course.
View moreThis is an honest and down to earth University, set in the scenic surroundings of Worcester and all that it has to offer. It is not far from the town centre and surrounding parks and spaces to visit. The people you meet in class and the professors that teach you are so kind and never judge you, they are there to help you every step of the way, but not hold your hand through your whole university experience. The student union put on many charity events and weekly events for those wanting a decent time on a budget. Above all, they listen to any insights you have on making the SU a better place for all. The university campuses are very accessible and wheelchair accessible. This means that any of your friends and family can visit and tour with you around the campus. They have many benefits available to you here, such as 10 pounds a year for printing and 100 pounds in your first year on JohnSmith.co.uk that supplies stationery, to technology here.
