Why register for the Warwick Award?

The Warwick Award has been designed to help you showcase all of the skills you will build throughout your time here, and set you up for a fantastic start to life after graduation. By completing the Award you'll develop a range of core skills that employers have told us they want to see in new graduates, you'll learn how to reflect on those skills, and you'll build a bank of examples of how you've built those skills that you can use when applying for jobs.

But, don't just take our word for it. We spoke with some of the students who've already completed the Warwick Award - our Warwick Award Pioneers - to find out why they signed up, what they got out of it, and plenty more.

"I know it might come across as just a piece of paper, or another line on your HEAR, but it felt nice to be able to put a short, snappy title to all the hard work I’ve done with my extra-curriculars over the last few years!"

"The Warwick Award has been a journey of personal and professional development, where I've learned to understand my strengths and areas for improvement, and most importantly, to step out of my comfort zone."
