Student stories
The Warwick Award has been designed to help you showcase the skills you have developed throughout your time at Warwick, 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 are looking for in new graduates, learn how to reflect on those skills, and build a bank of examples of how you’ve developed these skills, which you can use when applying for jobs.
But don't just take our word for it. Read stories from some students who've already completed the Warwick Award to find out why they signed up, what they got out of it, and more.
