General Information

Warwick is a world-leading university with the highest academic and research standards.

Born out of boldness, imagination and collaboration, it’s one of the top 10 UK universities and 54th in the world (QS World University Rankings 2019), and in the world’s top 100 universities for graduate employability (The QS Graduate Employability Rankings 2019).

The 2014 Research Excellence Framework placed us 7th among UK research universities, meaning you’ll learn alongside academics at the cusp of new thinking. In 2016/17 we awarded approx. £33-34 million in postgraduate funding, helping outstanding students to succeed.

26,531 students thrive across three faculties, which feature over 70 research centres and institutes. Our Global Research Priorities are: Behavioural Science, Connecting Cultures, Cyber Security, Energy, Food, Global Governance, innovative manufacturing, International Development, Materials, Science & Technology for Health, and Sustainable cities.

Warwick is committed to bringing world-class research into the classroom. This means we attract professors at the forefront of their fields, aiming to give our students fresh insights and approaches to learning. Warwick also looks to bring a commercial sensibility into much of our teaching, helping our students to prepare for opportunities after their studies have been completed.

All of this means you’ll be welcomed to a supportive, energetic campus community where you can stretch yourself personally, professionally and academically.

Our PG Hub and Wolfson Research Exchange provide study areas exclusively for postgraduates.

Life in

Warwick’s campus is home to students and staff from all over the world. Safe, inclusive and cosmopolitan, it offers everything you could need close at hand, including shops, banks, bars, cafés, restaurants, health and worship facilities.

The University of Warwick recently opened a new sports hub in 2019 housing a 12-lane 25m swimming pool, modern 230 station gym, indoor climbing and bouldering centre, flexible studio spaces, squash courts, outdoor sports pitches and a café.

The Warwick Acts Centre hosts many arts and cultural activities run professionally and by students. Renovation work is currently being carried out and once finished in 2020 will include a new art gallery, three new cinema screens, two theatres and a studio. Warwick’s campus is located in Coventry, which is the base for many of our students living off campus. Coventry is a city of contradictions, with modern high street shops, restaurants, nightclubs and bars, within a five minute walk of medieval monuments. Coventry railway station offers major connections across the UK: it takes just 20 minutes to travel to Birmingham (the second largest city in the UK), an exciting, ever-changing place with something for everyone; and an hour to reach London’s amazing attractions.

Many students also live in nearby Leamington Spa, which is just a bus ride away. It’s smaller than Coventry but still lively with plenty of bars, cafés and shops to explore. And for culture, history and heritage, step back in time at nearby Warwick Castle, Kenilworth Castle and Stratford-upon Avon, Shakespeare's birthplace and home to the world-famous Royal Shakespeare Company.
