Study in Worcester

Worcester is a cathedral city on the River Severn, and the only settlement in Worcestershire with city status, a distinction owed to Worcester Cathedral. The city grew as a centre of Church learning and the cloth trade, later becoming known for glove-making and engineering. StudyUKToday works with one real university here.

What Worcester Is Actually Like

Worcester Cathedral, with a central tower completed in 1374 and sections dating back to 1120, sits at the heart of the city on the banks of the River Severn. Worcester is known internationally through Worcestershire Sauce and Royal Worcester porcelain, both of which carry the city’s name around the world. New Road, home to Worcestershire County Cricket Club since 1896, is regularly rated among the most attractive cricket grounds in the country, with the cathedral visible beyond its boundary.

Worcester’s cost of living is generally lower than in England’s larger cities, with the city sitting within reach of Birmingham and the wider West Midlands.
