Local community

A world class University on your doorstep

The University is committed to being a good neighbour and is working to ensure its impact on the local area is both enriching and beneficial.

Our aim is to maximise the benefits of the University of Worcester to our neighbours and the local community.

Our relationship with our local community is very important to us and we maintain close links with local residents' associations, community groups, the police and other agencies.

Make use of our facilities

Campus sports facilities are available for use by our neighbours and we welcome visitors from all over the region to our library, art and drama facilities.

Bus travellers can use the conveniently located number 31 stop, which is right outside the Students’ Union .

Students as good neighbours

We encourage our students to be good neighbours, asking them to be aware of their responsibilities as members of the community, not to let themselves down and to avoid causing offence or impacting negatively on the lives of their fellow citizens.

Many students make a significant personal contribution and commitment to the city through their volunteering work while at university and many stay in Worcester after graduation to follow their careers and make their homes here.
