As we start a new academic year and enter the last third of our 50th anniversary year we have many successes and achievements to celebrate, and Warwick’s unparalleled success over the last ten years has been reflected in all of the university league tables published since last term.

We all knew that this new academic year would be a special one for Warwick because of the start of the university’s 50th Year Anniversary Celebrations in January. We now know that we have even more cause to celebrate those 50 years of success with the welcome news that the Sunday Times and Times have just declared Warwick to be the University of the Year for 2014-15.
