Open Days
Attending an Open Day will give you the opportunity to learn more about studying medicine here at WMS. You will be able to find out more about the application process, sample a taster clinical skills session, gain an understanding of the course structure, how it is taught and find out from our current students what it is really like to be a medical student at WMS.
Please note, we are unable to arrange appointments for individual applicants to meet with academic or admissions staff.

We have three open days organised for 2019:
- Wednesday 3 April

Register to attend any of the three open days here.
If you have any queries please email us at wms dot events at warwick dot ac dot uk.

If you miss this deadline we may not be able to make another offer of accommodation, so it’s important to regularly check. We can only make one offer of accommodation.

- See where the campus car parks are on this interactive map.
Q. Can I arrange a private appointment to meet with the Director of Admissions?
A. Our Open Days give potential applicants far more information and insight into the MB ChB programme at Warwick Medical School than a meeting with one member of staff. The Director of Admissions is, however, usually present at Open Days and is willing to answer questions. We hope you appreciate it is not possible to give potential applicants a private appointment, as we would be unable to meet demand.
Q. Will I be able to speak to current MB ChB students?
A. Yes, students will give a presentation on their experiences of the course and how they found the admissions process. There will also be the chance to chat to students during the breaks.
Q. How can I get in touch if I have any questions?
A. If you have any questions that aren't covered here, please Email us.
