Widening Participation Student Advisory Group

Would you like to get involved with Widening Participation work at Warwick?

We want to hear from UK students (or those with Home fee status) studying at all levels who are from WP backgrounds and would like share their perspectives to help positively shape the experiences of future WP students.

If you would like to be part of the group and identify as a student from a Widening Participation background, please complete the short application form below.

The group meets twice a term for 1.5 hours and we hear from people working on various projects across the University. Recent speakers and workshop facilitators have included staff from the Wellbeing Team, Student Experience, and Estates.

Members are expected to attend all meetings for the 2026/27 academic year. The first meeting will be on Monday, 16 November 2026 from 2:30-4:00pm.

If you’d like to have a brief chat about what’s involved or have any questions please feel free to get in touch with us at .

This application form will close at 8pm on Monday, 2 November 2026.

Hear from some of our past members about their experiences being on the group below.
