The International Conference of Undergraduate Research (ICUR) is an annual academic conference, led and sponsored by the University of Warwick and Monash University, connecting student researchers globally using video conferencing technology.

This year, the forum will take place on the 29-30 September and will be modified to accommodate current pandemic restrictions. Both audience and presenters will join the conference virtually through the new ICUR App. A number of students from the School for Cross-faculty Studies will be presenting their research at ICUR next week.

The Graduate Outcomes survey opened on Tuesday 1 September 2020 for summer 2019 graduates. The survey will be open until Monday 30 November 2020. Graduates will be contacted on behalf of the University by the Higher Education Statistics Agency Limited (HESA)/IFF research by email, text, and telephone.

What is the Graduate Outcomes survey?

About 15 months after finishing their course, graduates are invited to respond to the Graduate Outcomes survey. This national survey collects information on the activities and perspectives of graduates. The survey aims to help current and future students gain insight into career destinations and development.

Have your say

If you graduated in the summer of 2019 we'd really appreciate it if you're able to fill out the survey. The survey will take about 10 minutes to complete. Your responses will be invaluable in helping current and future Liberal Arts students. They'll also help us promote our courses and inform our work with local and national employers. On a wider level, the survey is also of national significance as it provides a deeper understanding of the higher education sector and the state of the graduate labour market. Thank you in advance for your time and responses.

Congratulations to Liberal Arts student Ceara Webster, one of this year’s winners of Warwick’s Outstanding Student Contribution Awards (OSCAs).

Our Liberal Arts third- and fourth- year finalists were awarded their degrees on Wednesday 22 July 2020.

This has been a year like no other and unfortunately, we have not been able to celebrate our students' successes on campus in the usual way. However, we were keen to congratulate our students by holding a virtual graduation celebration that took place on Thursday 30 July 2020. During the celebration, our staff and students shared stories and anecdotes from over the years, and the following prizes were awarded:

• The Liberal Arts Achievement Prize: Lily Rose Fitzmaurice
• The Dissertation Prize: Hannah Davenport
• The Cathia Jenainati Prize: Ceara Webster

Congratulations Lily, Hannah, and Ceara - your hard work has not gone unnoticed and we enjoyed being able to share your brilliant achievements in this way.

We are incredibly proud of our Class of 2020 for all of their successes and for overcoming challenges throughout their time at Warwick. We hope to be able to congratulate our graduates on campus when it is safe to do so and give them the graduation ceremony that they very much deserve.
