University of Warwick - Description

Warwick is a campus university with a truly cosmopolitan student community. We earn a consistent place at the uppermost reaches of the UK Higher Education league tables, and are making a positive move up the international tables too. The latest Research Excellence Framework (REF) ranked us 7th in the UK for research, having 19 departments in the top ten in the UK in their unit of assessment based on outputs. The REF also ranked 87% of our research as 'world-leading' or 'internationally excellent'. Our reputation for research attracts teachers who are among the very best in their fields. They're the teachers who are innovating, who are setting the agenda for others to follow. We've been named third fastest rising young university in the World by the Times Higher Education Young Universities Summit, and the fastest rising university in the UK. Whether you're a student, lecturer or researcher, our distinct approach will help you follow your ambitions. Deciding on the right institution for a postgraduate degree is a difficult decision. You'll have numerous factors to consider, including funding, accommodation, the specialist facilities available to you, and even the location. But more important than any of these single factors on their own are the values which underpin the institution's approach to further study. These values shape the academic experience you will have as a postgraduate student, defining who you become as a teacher, researcher and member of the wider community.  We have a dynamic international postgraduate community where knowledge is created rather than described.  Studenta have access to a wide range of high quality resources, including our Postgraduate Hub and Wolfson Research Exchange. A wide range of scholarships are also available for taught Master's and research applicants.   The University of Warwick is one of the UK’s leading universities with an acknowledged reputation for excellence in research and teaching, for innovation, and for links with business and industry. Founded in 1965 with an initial intake of 450 undergraduates, Warwick now has in excess of 22,000 students and is ranked comfortably in the top 10 of all UK university league tables. Warwick is the second most targeted university, by graduate employers, for graduate recruitment programmes. Warwick is renowned for excellence and innovation within research and in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, was ranked seventh overall in the UK, with 65% of the University’s research rated as 3* (internationally excellent) or 4* (world leading). Warwick’s mission is to become a world leader in research and teaching
