Background on the University of Worcester The University of Worcester was founded in 1946 as a beacon of hope in the aftermath of the Second World War, with a guiding mission to help win peace through education. This founding vision continues to shape the University’s ethos today – using the power of education to enrich lives and make a positive contribution to society. Since its beginning, the University of Worcester has lived its maxim ‘Inspired for Life’, expressed through a culture of inclusion, creativity, effectiveness and friendliness. We concentrate on working together as a whole University, to create an environment in which people thrive, placing great importance on combining enduring human values with professionalism. As a university, we are an expression of democracy, progress, knowledge and principle. We believe the fundamental, transformative effect of higher education has benefits for individuals, and for society as a whole. We endeavour to create an institution which encourages students to become good citizens, both within the University community and in the wider world. ‘Inspired for Life’ means that we not only support students and staff to succeed in their chosen career, but also that we motivate them to use the skills that they develop to build a better world. This approach makes our graduates highly employable, with 96% in work or further study within six months of completing their course. We have a national reputation as a very friendly community, where both staff and students feel genuinely valued and empowered to make a meaningful contribution. The University has been consistently ranked among the top institutions in the UK for Quality Education, topping the Times Higher Education University Impact Rankings in recent years. Our commitment to sustainability, equality, and social mobility is embedded in all we do. Significant investment in award-winning, inclusive facilities – such as The Hive, Europe’s first integrated university and public library, and the University of Worcester Arena, the UK’s first fully accessible sports facility – reflects our outward-looking ethos. More recent developments include the opening of the Three Counties Medical School in 2023, which is helping to address regional workforce shortages in healthcare. A strong network of partnerships with local authorities, healthcare providers, schools and community organisations underpins our belief that universities play a vital role in driving social good, regionally and beyond.
