University of Warwick

Warwick is a unique, and uniquely successful, institution. Despite its relative youth – it was founded in the mid-1960s – it is now 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. In the last government Research Assessment Exercise, Warwick was rated seventh in the UK for research excellence; applications for undergraduate places currently stand at around 30,000 for 3,000 undergraduate places, and over the last seven years the university has built up from scratch a flourishing Medical School.
