Featured International Case Studies
World-class universities need a high-quality portfolio of partners to expand their global reach and impact. Our partnerships enable us to share knowledge and resources in ways that a single institution cannot achieve alone. We are proud to work collaboratively with our partners solving problems through research and truly global education opportunities.
Women in STEM - Sponsor engagement
Discover how the British Council launched its Women in STEM scholarship programme to help support women like Maria Farooq (a climate scientist from Pakistan) pursue her life long ambitions.
EUTOPIA Student Council
EUTOPIA is, at its core, the creation of a European University; the student voice is vital to its success and continued development. Three Warwick students with a range of degree levels (Bachelors, Masters, PhD) are share their perspectives of the council.
The joint Monash Warwick Alliance PhD
The Alliance Joint PhD enables researchers to study at two innovative and internationally renowned institutions. They spend one year at Warwick and one year at any of Monash's Australian campuses. Travel to the other institution usually occurs in the second year. iley Henderson, a third year PhD student, joined the Monash Warwick Alliance Particle Physics group in 2020.
The Alliance addressing fundamental questions in science
What are the basic building blocks of matter? What are the fundamental interactions? What happened in the earliest stages of the Universe, and how did that result in what we observe around us today? Large international collaborations are needed to progress towards answering these questions. Bringing together expertise from Warwick and Monash groups has created a unique alliance that enables us to take ever-stronger leadership in these international endeavours.
