Please see the upcoming term dates here: https://warwick.ac.uk/study/termdates/

How can I find my way around campus?

There is a campus map to help you find your way around the University campus, which can be found here.

Where do I get my certificate of arrival signed?

Certification of arrival must be signed by the Student Mobility team. Their email is studyabroad@warwick.ac.uk.

How can I register for modules and when does module registration open for exchange students?

Module registration opens in Welcome Week. The Undergraduate Office register modules on your behalf. Instructions can be found in the handbook on page 9 under the heading Registering for Your Modules.

I am a part year student and the module or modules I wish to take do not appear on the part year module list. What shall I do?

Unfortunately, as a part year/visiting student you are limited in terms of what we can offer modules wise. This is because we are limited in terms of what we can offer on a part year basis. Only students that are here for the full academic year can study the full module range, provided they meet the prerequisites. In short, if it is not on the list then you are not permitted to take it.

I am a WBS exchange student, and I am keen to take an Economics module. How can I apply for this?

We do allow external exchange students to take our modules, however you must be able to demonstrate that you have the prerequisites or equivalents to study any Warwick modules. You can find details on how to take a module in Economics here.

Will I find problems with the availability of the modules while registering in September due to the number of people enrolled?

Whilst we can’t guarantee availability it is unlikely that you will encounter such issues.

I plan to take a module from an external department, but it is not on the approved module list. What shall I do?

You can apply to take a module that doesn’t appear on the approved module list. You can find the form in the Approved Options tile here, this opens when module registration opens. You must wait to receive approval from the Module Coordinator before registering as it may be rejected.

How many CATS am I expected to take?

Usually, you will have agreed what you are required to take by your home institution. If not, Warwick does have minimum and maximum number of CATS that you must adhere to. Please refer to page 6 of the handbook.

I have pre agreed number the number of CATS I need to take with my home institution, how many modules can I take?

Usually, you will have agreed what you are required to take by your home institution. If not, Warwick does have a minimum and maximum number of CATS that you must adhere to. Please refer to page 6 of the handbook.

My Learning Agreement I made with my home institution includes a module that does not appear on the part year module list. What do I do?

Unfortunately, you will need to choose an alternative from the part year module list. As a part year/visiting student you are limited in terms of module choices as we are limited in terms of what we can offer on a part year basis. You must ensure that you meet the published prerequisites. Only students that are here for the full academic year can study the full module range, provided they meet the prerequisites.

My institution says that I must take the modules I have pre agreed with them what do I do about this?

This situation happens every year. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to take the modules you have pre agreed. This is because we can only offer some modules on a part year basis and not the whole range. Students here for the full year have a better chance, prerequisites fulfilled, to get a place on the modules they have chosen. In this situation you must liaise with your home institution and explore whether an exchange programme is right for you.

Where do get my Learning Agreement signed and stamped?

You must scan your agreement to the UG Office after module registration. It will be assessed for accuracy and any changes or amendments will be made manually. This will then be returned to you via email. economics.office@warwick.ac.uk

Why have the CATS weightings been amended on my Learning Agreement?

As a part year student e.g. Autumn, Autumn and Spring, Spring and Summer, you do not fulfil the exam component of the module, rather you will be assessed by a special assignment, therefore it carries fewer credits. For example, a 15 CAT module will be worth 12 CATS or 6.00 ECTS and a 30 CAT module will be worth 24 CATS or 12 ECTS.

I have enrolled for Autumn and Spring or Spring and Summer and I want to leave early. What do I need to do?

You will need to get in touch with Student Mobility studyabroad@warwick.ac.uk and have the discussion with them. Please note, the earlier you come to that decision, the better, as sometimes it is not possible.

How do I sign up for seminars and lectures?

Seminars are self-sign up and you will receive a notification when they are open.

How do I report my absence from a seminar or lecture?

You are allowed two periods of self-certified sickness per academic year. You are required to complete and submit a self cert form.

Is it possible to change my seminar time?

We will only action changes to seminars if there is a genuine academic clash.

Where can I find the wellbeing and pastoral support help which is available at Warwick?
