The University of Worcester has its origins in an emergency college for training teachers, opened in 1946, and developed gradually. In 1976 it became Worcester College of Higher Education, and in 1997 University College Worcester, by then holding its own degree awarding powers. Full university status came in 2005, with research degree awarding powers following in 2010. Most of its roughly 8,700 students are undergraduates.
The University is based in Worcester, a cathedral city just over two hours by train from London. St John's Campus is the principal academic site, and Worcester Business School occupies City Campus, on the former site of Worcester Royal Infirmary. Riverside Campus contains sports facilities and the Worcester Arena, while Lakeside Campus, set in rural Worcestershire, provides watersports and outdoor pursuits. The Hive, which Queen Elizabeth II opened in 2012, is a sizeable library and learning centre and a city landmark. Programmes cover business, the sciences and the arts as well as teacher education, the field in which the institution began. Graduate employment is a particular priority, backed by more than 200 partnerships with employers, and hundreds of students hold on-campus jobs while they study.
Information for International Students
Enquiries and applications are handled by Worcester's International team, while the International Experience Team supports students after arrival. Undergraduate courses ask for IELTS 6.0 and postgraduate courses for 6.5, in each case with every component at 5.5 or above, although certain professionally accredited programmes set higher scores. During the degree, students can strengthen their English through academic English modules and in-course sessions run by the Centre for Academic English and Skills. Some subjects include an integrated foundation year, such as Biological Sciences with Foundation Year.
The CAS is issued when every offer condition has been met and the place confirmed; a credibility interview may be part of this stage, and the admissions and international teams keep in touch throughout the visa application. The nearest major airport, Birmingham International, has direct trains to Worcester. New residents of University halls, which are located on St John's and City campuses, are welcomed on St John's Campus at Main Reception. An International Welcome and induction programme then introduces the city, the campus and the support services. International scholarships are offered, and graduates may apply for the Graduate Route.
Intake Information
Intake information is provided as a general guide. Start dates vary between universities and courses, and not every course is offered at every intake. Please follow the UCAS deadlines for undergraduate applications and check the latest dates on the official University of Worcester website.
Frequently Asked Questions
UK universities typically require international students who are under 18 when they enrol to have a UK-based nominated guardian in place. The guardian acts on behalf of the parents while the student is a minor, serving as the university's point of contact in an emergency, supporting the student's welfare and providing a trusted adult close by. British Guardianship provides this as a fully accredited university guardianship service.
We have guardians available and ready to be assigned. The overall timeframe depends on how quickly the required paperwork is completed and communication with University of Worcester is finalised. As every case is different, timelines can vary, but we aim to make the process as smooth and efficient as possible.
Our UK university guardianship services for University of Worcester start from £250 per term. We also offer premium and bespoke packages, and with our flexible guardianship services you only pay for the services you need. Full details are on our guardianship fees page.
No. Once your child turns 18, the nominated guardian requirement no longer applies and guardianship services are no longer needed. This is why our university guardianship is priced per term, so you only pay until your child's 18th birthday.
A UK student guardian must be a responsible adult, usually aged 25 or over, who lives permanently in the UK, speaks fluent English and is close enough to respond quickly in an emergency. The guardian must be contactable 24 hours a day, act as the university's emergency contact until the student turns 18, and hold an Enhanced DBS check where they or their household host the student. University of Worcester may also ask for the guardian's details at enrolment and set additional requirements of its own. As an AEGIS-accredited guardianship provider, British Guardianship meets these requirements on your behalf, with vetted guardians, Enhanced DBS checked host families and 24-hour emergency support.
