Every Monday, firstpoint publishes five points about a topic related to life at university. This week, staying in touch with the University after you graduate…
POINT ONE: BECOMING AN ALUMNI…
When you graduate you will become an alumnus of the University of Worcester, an illustrious community of more than 100,000 former students across the world.
We encourage alumni to keep in touch, let us know what you are doing now, come back and visit and play an active role in shaping University life for the future.
POINT TWO: KEEP IN TOUCH…
Many of our graduates say that friends for life are one of the most important things that they will take away from their time at Worcester, besides the high-quality education of course.
As well as keeping in touch with your new friends, the University would love to hear about all the many adventures and achievements you have gone on to enjoy in your life after graduation. We regularly share stories of our alumni success on our website and through the media.
POINT THREE: BE AN AMBASSADOR…
Being an alumni is about more than just news and keeping in touch. Our alumni are not only a great source of pride for the University, but an invaluable network of ambassadors that can play an active role in helping to shape and steer the University’s future direction. You know what it is to have lived, studied and succeeded here, whether in 1949 or 2019, and we value your voice and your support in telling others about your experiences.
POINT FOUR: ALUMNI BENEFITS…
If you are not quite ready to call time on your Worcester experience just yet, remember that any students who have completed a BA, BSc or LLB award and then move on to a full-time Masters or PhD course at Worcester receive a 20% discount on their tuition fees. (Students are entitled to one discount only, and cannot combine this discount with any other. The University of Worcester reserves the right to change or remove this discount.)
Besides the tuition fee discount on postgraduate study, as life members of the University of Worcester community, alumni can take advantage of the following benefits:
- Enhanced membership of The Hive: Enjoy 12 3-week loans and access to University High Demand books and key university e-resources, as well as the professional expertise of the Hive staff.
- Careers Support: Former students can continue to use the University’s Careers and Employability Service for up to three years following graduation, to help you get established in the career that’s right for you.
- Summer Accommodation 10% discount: If you are organising your own reunion with friends or looking for somewhere affordable to stay in the city, alumni are able to claim 10% off our accommodation costs during the summer months.
POINT FIVE: HOW TO STAY IN TOUCH…
If you would like to keep in touch and tell us about your news you can email alumni@worc.ac.uk
You can also email us if you need any help or advice from the University.
