Helping you settle in as quickly as possible

Your first weeks at Warwick and in the Department will be busy so we have put together a guide of what will be happening and what you need to do.

ID cards

On arriving at Warwick, you will be able to collect your student ID Card. Your card gives you access to the Library and certain buildings around campus. If you are living in on-campus accommodation then you can collect your ID card with your accommodation key. All other MRes students can collect their ID Card from Student Services in Senate House (further detail available here).

When collecting your card, you will be required to show proof of your identity (e.g. your passport, driving licence, national identity card, etc) including your full name and photograph, for verification purposes.

In-person Right to Study Check Event

All full time, non-British/non-Irish students, will need to attend an in-person right to study check event on arrival at the University of Warwick to complete enrolment for your course. If you have selected for your BRP to be received by Warwick under the Alternative Collection Location (ACL) provision, you will also be able to collect your BRP at this event. Your in-person Right to Study Check Event will take place from 9:00 - 9:30am on Monday 16th September 2024 in Rootes Building (Learning Grid - Ground Floor). Please bring along with you all of relevant immigration documentsLink opens in a new window.

Please note, you cannot take part in any study until you have completed both Course Registration (online) and cleared the in-person checks. Once all cleared, you will be sent an email with confirmation that you are now fully enrolled on your course and at the same time your enrolment status will be updated to "Fully Enrolled".

MRes Advanced Mathematics for Economics

All incoming MRes Economics students are invited to attend a short course, 'Advanced Mathematics for Economics'. Teaching will take place in the Social Sciences building in the Department of Economics.

This non-examined course does not attract credit for your taught first year.

MRes Induction Session

You should register with the Department on Monday 16th September, by joining the 'Welcome to the MRes' presentation, which we will be running in person in room S2.79 (second floor of the Social Sciences building). During the session you will meet the Director of the MRes/PhD and the Deputy Director and we will provide you with further information about your programme.

Support Services

To help familiarise you with the resources and facilities available at Warwick, please view a collection of videos that should be watched during the first week of your course.

MRes/PhD Teaching Timetable

The 2024/25 timetable Link opens in a new windowis currently being finalised. Check your on-line teaching timetable carefully and regularly to keep up to date with any changes. Personalised teaching timetables including class times and other small group teaching activity can be seen by visiting Tabula, where you will see your assigned classes for core modules.

Welcome Week

The University will run a number of activities for new students during Welcome Week (23-29 September). We encourage you to attend these activities when they don't clash with your Pre-sessional course. Further details are available here: find out more.

Student Finance

If you have been awarded a departmental scholarship, you will need to input your bank details online in order to receive your monthly stipend. Instructions on how to do this are available here. If you are delayed in your arrival to Warwick you may need to open a UK bank account from abroad, information on how you can do this is available here.

Status Letters

Once you have formally enrolled and you have your term time address you can request a status letter, which you may require in order to open a UK bank account, once you arrive. A status letter can be requested via the enrolment dashboard of eVision.

IT Systems

During your time as an Economics student, you will encounter various IT systems for different purposes. As there is a lot to take in during your first few weeks, we have created a summary of these systems and their uses to help make it that little easier for you.

• Tabula - You can check your timetable, upcoming monitoring points and assignments, personal tutor and declare mitigation using the Tabula online system.
