Campus life


Accommodation

Finding the right accommodation is key to helping you settle in quickly. We have 12 self-catering undergraduate halls of residence on campus. From your second year onwards, our student property agency will offer the chance to remain in university-managed accommodation off campus, in areas such as Coventry and Leaminton Spa.

Our campus

You won't be short of ways to spend your time on campus - whether it's visiting Warwick Arts Centre, using our incredible new sports facilities, socialising in our bars, nightclub and cafés, or enjoying an open-air event. Or if you need some peace and quiet, you can explore lakes, woodland and green spaces just a few minutes’ walk from central campus.

Societies

We currently have more than 300 student-run societies. So whether you’re into films, martial arts, astronomy, gaming or musical theatre, you can instantly connect with people with similar interests. Or you could try something new, or even form your own society.

Local life

What do you consider a great location? City life? Peaceful countryside? History and culture? Our campus is located in Coventry, close to Warwickshire towns such as Leamington-Spa, Kenilworth and Warwick, giving you all of this on your doorstep, so
get exploring.

Sport

Staying active at Warwick is no sweat, thanks to our amazing new Sports and Wellness Hub, indoor and outdoor tennis centre, 60 acres of sports pitches, and more than 60 sports clubs. Whether you want to compete, relax or just have fun, you can achieve your fitness goals.

Wellbeing and support

Our continuous support network is here to help you adjust to student life and to ensure you can easily access advice on many different issues. These may include managing your finances and workload, and settling into shared accommodation. We also have specialist disability and mental health
support teams.

Your Students' Union

The Students’ Union (SU) is an independent, not-for-profit charitable organisation that represents the views of our students on campus, in the local area and nationally. It is run by students for students, headed by seven democratically elected Sabbatical Officers.

Part-time work and volunteering

We offer more than 8,000 on-campus work experience opportunities (including both voluntary and paid work), giving you opportunities to earn extra money and develop your skills. Our employment agency, Unitemps, recruits for jobs on campus and in the local area. Or you can find volunteering opportunities through Warwick Volunteers.

Arts and Culture

Thousands of events and productions are held each year at Warwick Arts Centre, located on central campus. This gives you access to a packed programme of theatre, music, cinema and visual arts, and provides professional standard performance spaces for student productions and concerts.
