Professor Jacqueline Labbe Chair of the University of Warwick’s Board of Graduate Studies said:
“Warwick is one of the UK’s top ten research intensive universities and almost 45% of our students are postgraduates. Warwick has sought to build further on that success and Since 2006/7has adopted a goal of doubling its postgraduate research population by 2015/16.”
“We are well on track to achieve this goal - since 2006/07 the postgraduate research student population at Warwick has increased from 1102 to 1796 (2011/12 entry), representing a percentage increase of 62.98% “
"We also recognise that the best students deserve the best level of support we can devise, and I am very pleased that from 2013 students to whom we award University funding will be supported for 3.5 years rather than the sector standard of 3 years."
