We're really excited to be working with you and supporting you on your Liberal Arts journey. We appreciate that starting University is an exciting (and busy!) time, with lots of information to navigate. On these pages, you'll find:

• key information about preparing for University
• departmental Welcome Week schedule
• welcome from members of the Liberal Arts team
• advice from Liberal Arts students

We have a programme of events in Welcome Week too, so you can get to know the department, plan your studies in Liberal Arts, ask any questions you might have, and connect with your Liberal Arts community.

Joining Liberal Arts at Warwick, you'll be part of a community of interdisciplinary thinkers who are interested in bridging connections between disciplines, finding creative approaches to exploring problems, and working collaboratively to develop exciting new ideas.

Throughout your degree, you'll study a combination of Liberal Arts core modules with members of our Liberal Arts team, and subjects and topics that interest you across the University.

We'll be there to support and guide you along the way!
