The University of Worcester offers the following outreach and engagement opportunities for schools, students and teachers:
Masterclasses and Taster Sessions for Years 11–13
- The University of Worcester does not charge for any of their activities. In return, all they ask is that you circulate details of their open day events from time to time.
- To manage demand, they normally place a limit of 2 activities per institution in any one academic year. They also have a preferred lower limit of 15 students for an activity. Some schools combine year groups to reach this threshold.
- In-person activities at your school: For those activities that do not require specialist equipment, they may be able to run a session at your school or college. They offer this to institutions within a reasonable travel distance from Worcester.
- In-person activities at the University: They prefer to welcome students and teachers to the attractive University of Worcester campus in St John's, just west of the city centre. This allows them to make the most of their up-to-date facilities in the School of Science and the Environment.
- Online activities: They offer a small number of online activities for those schools and colleges more distant from Worcester.
