Partnership working

School partnerships

We work in close partnership with many schools across the region, ensuring best practice and building links for teaching placements and future employment.

Our partner schools include a range of settings from rural.

Professional Mentors support students throughout their school placements, giving them the benefit of their experience and expertise.

We also work in partnership with Worcestershire, Herefordshire, Shropshire, Warwickshire and Gloucestershire Children's Services.

The partner schools not only take students for their school experience, but school staff also help to deliver some taught programmes at the University and take part in planning and evaluating new and existing developments.

Expanding study opportunities

Our initiatives over the past 10 years to research and develop new, flexible approaches to learning and teaching have been central to providing access to University of Worcester degrees through partner institutions.

The ability to offer flexible modes of study is a key aspect of our programmes and Worcester students welcome the opportunity to study in their close to their homes through our strong network of regional partnerships.

Further afield, our expanding network of international partners has opened many opportunities for staff collaboration, student exchanges and research.

We also have strong links and partnerships with the following institutions and external bodies: Children's Workforce Development Council Worcestershire Local Authority Herefordshire Local Authority National College for School Leadership.
