Why learning on campus matters
Build confidence
“Even when I didn’t feel like going, I always left feeling better than when I arrived.”
- Build a consistent routine to improve focus, time management and organisation.
- Stay motivated with daily structure and purpose.
- Grow your confidence by actively participating and contributing to teaching sessions.
- Feel a sense of achievement - even on days when showing up feels tough.
Stay on track in your learning
"Gain deeper insights - lecturers often share more in person than what's on the slides"
- Boost your understanding, knowledge, and grades by attending regularly.
- Stay on track with course content and avoid falling behind.
- Ask questions and get instant clarity from academic staff.
- Engage with course mates and diverse viewpoints.
- Hear insights that may not be captured in recordings.
Feel connected
“Most of my uni friendships started just by sitting next to the same people every week.”
- Meet new people and make friends through shared experiences.
- Form study groups to exchange ideas and support each other.
- Reduce feelings of isolation by being part of a learning community.
- Build relationships with lecturers and feel more supported in your academic journey.
Tips and advice from students and staff
"Regular attendance has helped me stay engaged with the course content, maintain momentum in my learning, and build strong connections with both lecturers and fellow students. It allows me to clarify points immediately, rather than falling behind and needing to catch up later.”
Sabrina Toshi,
Degree Apprenticeship Student
“Not every student’s journey looks the same. Many juggle lots of responsibilities - including caring duties, part-time work, or managing health and wellbeing. If this is your reality, you’re not alone - and there is support. Tutors are understanding if you share your situation early."
Grace Fisher,
Warwick Medical Student
Professor David Fearn - Head of Department, Classics
“Attending on campus allows you to make the most out of your chosen modules and feel supported in your learning. While there may be teaching resources available online, such as on Moodle, they do not replace in-person attendance. Your lecturers are subject experts, so missing their in-person sessions means you have to try to catch up on complex topics by yourself, without their help or expertise.
If you can’t attend a class for a valid reason, make sure to let your lecturer know what is preventing you from attending. Your department can offer support, and mitigations can be put in place if needed. If you have missed a class, make sure to drop into your lecturer's office hours so you can benefit from their guidance. Please don’t be shy - the support is right here for you if you give yourself the chance."
Finding your way around campus
Use MazeMap to find the buildings and rooms you're looking for!
- Simply enter the building name or room code shown on your timetable into the MazeMap search bar.
- For example, if your timetable lists OC1.05, search for that location to view it on the campus map.
- It can then provide you with step-by-step directions from your current location on campus.
Make sure you've logged in using your Warwick ID, otherwise you won't be able to view the specific room numbers and locations inside each building!
Remember to make the most of study spaces on campus!
There are lots of spaces in the Library, University buildings and departmental areas, both on central campus and on Gibbet Hill/Westwood. Whether you're looking for silent study, group work areas, café spaces or accessible facilities, campus has something for you.
