The Widening Participation Student Network

The WP Student Network brings together current students both UG and PG from a WP background, forming a community that is inclusive and peer led.

We aim to create a space that empowers, educates and inspires its members through information sharing, fun workshops and the sharing of lived experiences.

We do this through a range of events and socials with key themes, co-created with students, from career progression, wellbeing to quizzes and crafting, meeting up twice a term.

We welcome all students in to our community who self identify as from a WP background.

 Our WP Student Team seek to support WP staff in generating opportunities and providing the tools and discussions to enable this community to thrive, advocating for all WP students at Warwick.
