Warwick's campus is hard to beat and ideally located on the border of the West Midlands and Warwickshire. It has all the advantages of easy access to the major cities of CoventryLink opens in a new window (just three miles to the South West), BirminghamLink opens in a new window and central London but with the peace of a beautiful self-contained and green campus. We are right in the centre of England, easy to reach by rail, car or plane from all parts of the UK and abroad.

The campus is set in nearly 300 hectares of natural countryside with lakes, woods and beautifully tended gardens in which you can relax and escape from the buzz of main campus.

The facilities on campus are world-class with outstanding teaching and learning spaces, a 24-hour library, Arts centre and cinema, new sports and wellness hub and restaurants and cafes.

On your first full day we will take you on a tour of the campus to help you familiarise yourself.
