University of Wolverhampton

At the University of Wolverhampton, courses are taught by one of the specialist academic schools, which are grouped into three overarching faculties. Each school specialises in subject areas headed up by academic staff who are experts in their fields, with many courses accredited by recognised professional bodies.

The University of Wolverhampton’s research is wide-ranging, tackling everything from brain tumours, cybersecurity and rainforest governance, to biodegradable dressings, dementia, and English novels. At the heart of all they do is a desire to change the world for the better.

Academics and researchers collaborate with others around the world, and the latest Research Excellence Framework, released in 2022, judged more than half of its output to be either internationally excellent or world-leading.

The Careers team provides comprehensive support to students and graduates, assisting them in exploring career options, developing essential skills, and navigating job application stages. The university has several well-established schemes providing students with placements and industry work experience, with partners including Wolverhampton Wanderers, West Bromwich Albion, and Walsall football clubs; city centre music venue, University of Wolverhampton at The Halls; as well as subject-specific partnerships such as careers advice and mentoring for law students from DWF LLP, or a range of opportunities to gain experience with Morgan motor cars for engineering students.

The Enterprise team at Wolverhampton offer support to students and graduates in developing entrepreneurial skills and setting up their own business. They provide resources like a dedicated co-working space, business registration, workshops, competitions, and networking opportunities.
