How can I visit or apply to the University of Worcester?

Updated

You can start by searching for a course by level, then book an Open Day or a campus tour to visit before you apply. The University of Worcester's own site (worcester.ac.uk) is the entry point for all of this: it offers course search across undergraduate, postgraduate, apprenticeships, CPD and an A–Z of courses, plus Open Day booking and year-round campus tours. The next Open Day listed is Saturday 24th October 2026, 10am–3pm.

Find a course first

Course search on the site is split by level, so you can go straight to the route that matches you:

  • Undergraduate – bachelor's-level study
  • Postgraduate – master's and other advanced study
  • Apprenticeships – work-based routes
  • CPD – continuing professional development
  • A–Z of courses – browse everything alphabetically if you already know the subject name

If you are unsure which level fits, the A–Z list is the simplest way to check whether a subject is offered at all before you commit to a route.

Visit before you decide

The site presents visiting as the main way to judge whether Worcester suits you, and there are two options.

Open Days

  • Next Open Day: Saturday 24th October 2026, 10am–3pm
  • Book a place through the Open Day page
  • The site also states there are opportunities to visit all year round, with a full list under "View all Open Days"

Campus tours

Campus tours let you see the campuses and meet students. These sit alongside Open Days as the year-round alternative if the October date does not work for you.

What the university says about graduate outcomes

If employment prospects are part of your decision, this is what the site claims, with its stated sources:

Claim Source given on the site
Named University of the Year for Graduate Jobs Daily Mail 2027 University Guide
First among multi-subject UK universities for sustained employment, further study or both Longitudinal Education Outcomes (LEO) 2017–2026
Graduates in work or further study within 15 months of graduating Graduate Outcomes Survey 2026
Students employed on campus while they study, and partnerships with employers University of Worcester

The site also quotes current students and graduates on teaching support, extra tutorials, the city and community, and continued contact with lecturers after graduation. Treat these as the university's own presentation of its offer rather than independent verification.

Your next steps

  1. Search courses by level (undergraduate, postgraduate, apprenticeships, CPD) or use the A–Z.
  2. Check the Open Day page and book the 24th October 2026 slot, or look at the full list of dates.
  3. If no Open Day fits, book a campus tour instead.
  4. Use the visit to ask about placements, employer partnerships and the support quoted by current students before you apply.

One practical note: the site describes Worcester as a cathedral city in the heart of England with a creative scene and students at the centre of its culture — worth testing in person on a tour rather than relying on the description alone.
