About the Pathways Programmes:
Pathways at Warwick is an engaging two year programme that gives students practical advice about university and the workplace in a particular sector, with the overall aim of leaving students feeling inspired and more confident about their future.
Students interested in a career in Law, Banking & Finance or Engineering will have access to academic lectures, employer engagement, CV and personal statement support in their retrospective stream. The programmes are two years long, starting in year 12 and finishing in year 13.
