Education PhD
I attended this university for my undergraduate degree over a decade ago, and I cherished my experience then just as much as I do now. Currently, I find myself in a different phase of life as a mature student with a young family. Nevertheless, I believe that the student experience and facilities continue to meet my needs, even as they differ from those I had during my undergraduate studies. Across all campuses, the staff are exceptionally friendly and welcoming. The environment is clean and well-maintained, fostering a strong sense of pride among both students and staff. Overall, the university feels safe and inclusive. I wouldn't say there is a worst aspect of my university experience, as I feel it meets my expectations at this stage in my career and life.

The uni is very visually pretty. However communication can be really poor at times. We tried to call for security and first aid and couldn't get through on any of the official numbers and the front desk was empty. Some staff members and lecturers are super amazing though, and really do their best to help their classes succeed.

University of Worcester campus is a friendly place to be, it's on the smaller side which makes it a lot less daunting when coming in as a first year. The University is also placed in a beautiful place as there is a river going through the middle of Worcester city.

Comfy atmosphere, teachers who actually care about their students, just overall a nice place to study! Not a big fan of accommodation. The rooms are full of problems - hot water constantly turning off, my flatmates door handle isnt attached correctly nor is my bathroom tap, the heating is temperamental, just to namme a few. A little disappointing considering how much rent I am paying but mostly it's fine.
