Richard Lambert, Director-General of the CBI was formally installed as the new Chancellor of the University of Warwick at a ceremony on Wednesday 10 December.

Three undergraduate students from Warwick Business School recently won a “Be Your Own Boss” entrepreneurship competition, run by Warwick Entrepreneurs and sponsored by Merrill Lynch and Accenture.

Third year management students Stephen Leguillon, Steve Barns and Velin Djidjev entered their online start-up company e-resistible into the competition, and finished top out of over 50 entries, winning £1,000 and free business mentoring for the next 12 months.

Royce Farr retires from the University at the end of this year and there will be a presentation to him in the Atrium of University House on Tuesday 23 December, 12.30 for 1pm.

Message from Registrar

I am delighted to announce that the Vice-Chancellor has confirmed Ian Rowley's appointment to lead the Development and Alumni Relations office alongside his existing responsibilities as Director of Communication and Strategy.

The University regrets to announce the death of postgraduate student Pragya Mehrotra.

She was found close to the University’s Claycroft Residences on Friday afternoon.  The police regard her death as a tragic matter, but say that her death poses no risk to others and they are not looking to speak to anyone else in connection with her death.
