The new Warwick Award provides official recognition for the skills development activities that students take part in within and alongside their studies. Students can join at any point during their course. It is optional, free to join, and includes streams for UG, PGT, exchange and degree apprenticeship students.

The Warwick Award recognises a wide range of activities including some academic modules, sports and societies, volunteering, part time work, caring responsibilities and much more. Students can select any activities they like, based on their interests, availability and skills development needs, as well as those recommended by their department.
