WELCOME FROM THE VICE-CHANCELLOR

The University of Wolverhampton is a global university. From our central UK location, we provide opportunities to our students from home or abroad, in the UK and in countries around the world – helping you to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to thrive in the global economy.

Each year, we welcome many hundreds of international students from over 100 nations to the University, who join us to study at one of our UK campuses or partner institutions overseas. You can rest assured that you’re in safe hands. The University was awarded a Silver award as part of the Teaching Excellence Framework assessment in 2018. This award recognises that the University delivers provision that is of high quality and consistently exceeds the rigorous national quality requirements for UK higher education with most students achieving excellent outcomes.

We were recently awarded four stars overall the QS Stars ™ scheme – with the highest five stars for teaching, employability, internationalisation, and inclusiveness. We’ve also been commended by the Quality Assurance Agency for our enhancement of student learning opportunities and our research profile continues to grow, with more of our output deemed ‘world-leading’ than ever before in the most recent Research Excellence Framework exercise.

Wherever you’re studying with us, we put you – our students – first in our efforts to provide the best possible student experience, as well as improving your overall life chances and employability. We are proud of our 96% graduate employability rate*.

We hope you find this guide useful. Many of your questions will be answered within these pages, but please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you’d like to find out more.
