Computer Science teacher, Jenny Andrews (PGCE, 2018) is in the process of making a new app to put vulnerable or self-isolating people in touch with volunteer shoppers. The app allows the user to sign up as a self-isolating individual or family to create a shopping list. Volunteer shoppers can review the shopping requests and if they are able to help, they will contact the user via messaging.

Arriving at Warwick, I knew I was at the right place and that my desires would be met.

Here is a video message from the Vice-Chancellor Stuart Croft to update our staff and students on the further planning the University has put in place to continue to protect our community welfare.

I studied physics at Warwick after enjoying the subject at GCSE and A-Level. I enjoyed the challenge of the subject and thought it could help me end up in a job where I got to answer real world questions and make a difference.

Warwick is a great university. I enjoyed my time over there. I have met so many inspiring people and good friends.

It was amazing. What I really liked about Warwick is that there's so much support given to you, everyone wants you to succeed

It expanded my network and I was given the chance to work with an industry partner.

When I chose to study Maths and Physics at Warwick, I never expected to end up where I have or taken the journey I did to get there, but it has all felt very natural.

I've got very fond memories of being at Warwick. I would 100 per cent you know, if I had to do it again, I'd do it again!

The knowledge in this course is essential and comprehensive for anyone dedicated to researching polymer science.

The Physics careers staff also helped me to prepare for interviews as I moved into the working world.

It was a very difficult program but at the same time it was very rewarding

The Warwick Physics degree gave me a good overall understanding of physics, as well as in-depth knowledge in specific subjects in order to support these clients and understand what they are trying to do.

When I realised that science communication, rather than research, was to be my future career, my work in Warwick’s excellent outreach programme was an ideal springboard into the sector.

If your experience was like mine, you will have a great time and learn a lot.

The course was very well structured with plenty of support, the staff and fellow students were friendly, and I enjoyed my time there.

I have no doubt that my physics degree has been an invaluable asset in contributing to success in my field of work.

By studying a Physics degree at Warwick not only did I discover my enthusiasm for Astrophysics, but I also gained the problem solving, computational data analysis and leadership skills that are essential for pursuing a career in academic research.
