Induction training for staff who work in academic roles

Welcome to Warwick.

At Warwick our academic departments are grouped within three faculties, The Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Social Sciences and Faculty of Science Engineering and Medicine. As part of your induction your line manager or departmental administrator will provide you with a personalised induction plan which will outline the training you need to undertake during your induction period. Completion of all induction training within the specified timeframes is considered an essential part of your probation.
