About firstpoint
Who are we?
firstpoint is a helpdesk for current and prospective students at the University of Worcester. We are the front desk for Student Services but we can also answer questions on a variety of topics and signpost to other teams across the University.
You can keep up to date with our news and events by subscribing to the firstpoint blog.
We’re here to help, so that you can make the most of your time at university and develop to your full potential. You don't need to book an appointment to speak with a firstpoint adviser, but you can email firstpoint@worc.ac.uk in advance if you'd like to arrange to speak privately.
If you’re not sure exactly what question to ask, please come and have a chat; we’re ready to listen and, in most cases, if we don’t know the answer ourselves, we know who to ask.
The team is made up of Advisers and a Manager. We come from a range of backgrounds and have a wide experience and knowledge base, and several of us were students here at Worcester.
Our website has been built to give information and guidance covering the main issues and events which may impact you while you are a student. However, if you can’t find what you’re looking for, please get in touch.
Follow us on Facebook and Twitter and the firstpoint blog for information about what’s happening on campus, reminders for important dates & deadlines and hints & tips for accessing support.
