Situated over two campuses around the city, and with specialist arts and sports facilities, the University of Worcester is the fastest growing university in the UK and the only higher education institute in Herefordshire and Worcestershire.
Background and History
Ever since its inception in 1946, Worcester has moved from strength to strength. In everything from teaching quality to annual student admittance, the university has developed and invested money, more than doubling student numbers in the process. Committed to social learning and community involvement, Worcester was given university status in 2005. In 2010, the university received research degree-awarding powers and completed the renovation of its brand new City campus.
