The University is a truly inclusive place where every individual is valued. It’s a place where you’ll receive high-quality education and be supported to achieve your potential.

This means that accessibility is integrated into the way all courses are taught. It also means we have a dedicated Disability and Dyslexia Service, fully staffed by experienced professionals who cater for a wide range of needs and offer you support on an individual basis.

In terms of facilities, new buildings at Worcester are designed to create a truly inclusive environment, going well beyond minimum legal compliance - so the University of Worcester Arena, The Hive library, law courts, the Art House and many other facilities are all fully inclusive.

Every residential room built by the University in the 21st century has been designed to include a wheelchair turning circle and every floor is served by a lift.
