Don't bother coming to this university if you're an International student as all they're interested in is taking your money!They don't give a damn about you when you're in need of their help. I mean you can't even get a job at the university after graduation. Absolute nonsense. Absolute joke!! You're better off going to another university than this place. Id stay well clear off this university.

A small and friendly university in a lovely city! I had a great time studying Geography here and enjoyed debating with my lecturers. Very passionate team in a small department that is committed to its students and makes sure they have the best possible time and learn what they need for their future plans. I've met many amazing people from all around during my study and work at the University. I fell in love with Worcester and the UK during my studies and enjoyed exploring the surrounding countryside as well as the rest of the country.

My experience at the University of Worcester has been great! You feel supported throughout your studies and help is always at hand. Lecturers always try to make the lectures engaging, interesting and creative, especially when a professional from the field is invited to host a lecture, it always adds a new perspective to the subject covered (as for Marketing, Advertising and PR). The people and students I've met are friendly, open and kind, there's a huge international community so you never feel alone. Additionally, the city itself is beautiful (you can't not fall in love with Worcester) and offers everything you need. I will for sure miss the walks by the river accompanied by swans and the view of Cathedral from the bridge. It's easier than you think to grow fond of this place and University.

As a mature student the thought of attending university made me feel sick. I went to a rival uni first which confirmed all my fears. The UofW was totally different. I felt welcomed and included. The staff are all so helpful and my experience has been positive. So far so good!

From the moment I got to the uni I loved it, it was amazing. The lectures seemed engaging, the accommodation is above the rest I've seen, the people are friendly. It is by far the best uni I've seen and I was smitten within minutes of looking around

I recommend University of Worcester, helpful staff, great people, fabulous food and supportive lecturers who helped me graduate.
I was so very happy at Worcester and loved the city as well.
I graduated in 2008 and miss my Uni and would love to go back again.
