University of Worcester

About The Course

Worcester University was awarded the largest allocation of additional health-related student places in the UK in 2020, showing substantial and proven experience over the past two decades in training high-quality, effective and compassionate health professionals in nursing, midwifery, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and paramedic science.

A third of the University’s students are currently studying courses allied to health. This year, it celebrates 25 years of delivering nursing and midwifery education and is now considered to be one of the best training centres in the country for these professions.

In 2014, Worcester become the first university in the UK to introduce a postgraduate MSc Physician Associate (PA) course: a two-year intensive clinical programme to train clinical practitioners in the medical model to work alongside doctors, meeting the needs of a rapidly changing healthcare environment.

New for 2022, we have now been approved by the UK General Medical Council to offer a graduate entry medical degree and look forward to building on our partnerships with the local NHS to support the development of doctors for the 21st Century.
