The marketing team is looking for around 10 postgraduate students to take part in a photoshoot on Wednesday 26 and Thursday 27 June for its next recruitment campaign.

The team will need you for a maximum of two hours and you’ll receive £10 in Amazon vouchers for every hour you take part. You can indicate your availability throughout the day using the form below (these times are just to give us a rough idea of availability and are not the final time slots).

A diverse mix of students is needed and there's only a finite number of places available, so if you have been selected to take part, the team will contact you by email with further details.

On 16 May 2019 our Msc Humanitarian Engineering students had the opportunity to build a variety of emergency shelters on campus by using naturally sourced materials such as bamboo. They had the opportunity to work as a member of a small team to efficiently construct, in the field, an emergency shelter, practicing every aspect of the construction process, from preparing the materials provided to assembling structural frames and attaching roof covers.

We are deeply saddened to confirm that Josh Hill, a second year student, has passed away in hospital following a fall in the Maths and Statistics building.

Prof. Stuart Croft and Prof. Simon Swain visited Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) to sign several key agreements designed to further increase the depth and breadth of partnership between our institutions.

An expansion of the institutional-level student exchange agreement between Warwick and SJTU was formalised during this visit, giving a greater range of opportunities to study abroad, as Helen Johnson, Head of Study Abroad explains;

"The expansion of our student exchange with SJTU is an exciting development which will enable more Warwick students, both undergraduate and postgraduate, to experience life at a top Chinese university and choose from a wide range of short and long-term mobility activities including part-year exchange, summer schools and research projects”

Post-graduate students are invited to take part in a free four-week stress-management course during the month of June.

The participants and the teacher will meet as a group for one hour each week.

We'll be holding some informal student consultation groups to discuss themes, our vision and your experiences at Warwick and beyond. Sign up now.
