Education Strategy at Warwick
Our new Education and Student Experience Strategy has been developed in consultation with staff and students across the University to ensure an excellent educational experience for our students, and to consolidate and enhance our existing strengths in teaching and learning.
Our Vision
A Warwick Education develops the agency, talent, and commitment of our student and staff communities to strive for a better world.
Our courses are rooted in our research and teaching excellence, interdisciplinary learning, innovation, and real-world application to prepare our graduates for lasting success in a fast-changing world. Our learning and wider experience is inclusive, harnessing the diverse talents of our student and staff communities. Our educators and professionals embody our values as a community leading higher education nationally and internationally, underpinned by an environment which supports academic excellence."We're really excited to share our first Education and Student Experience Strategy, bringing together what we know matters for students and staff into a plan for the next five years. Students and staff from across the Warwick community came together to share their priorities for the new strategy, and we look forward to continuing to work together to make Warwick the best it can be."
