The University of Warwick treats the possibility of admissions fraud very seriously and our admissions team have expertise and experience in fraud detection.
All academic documents submitted by an applicant electronically are checked to ensure they are legitimate before an offer is confirmed. Once students arrive at Warwick, we select a sample of those electronically submitted documents and examine the original. The identity and legitimacy of all referees is also checked.
Unfortunately, every year we detect applicants who have submitted fake or altered academic documents, fake references, or other false or misleading information.
The University takes robust action against applicants in such cases. If we find that fake documents or false information has been submitted, we will withdraw the application and any other applications made by the same person. If fraud is discovered after the individual has matriculated at the University, we are able to terminate their studies under Regulation 6. We will immediately withdraw any future application from an individual who has previously been found to have submitted false or misleading documentation or information.
When investigating potential fraud, we may contact your previous awarding institution to verify your documentation.
