The University at the Heart of England
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 Coventry (just three miles to the southwest), Birmingham, and central London but with the peace of a beautiful self-contained and green campus. We are right in the center 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 the main campus.
The facilities on campus are world-class with outstanding teaching and learning spaces, a 24-hour library, an Arts centre and cinema, a brand-new sports and wellness hub, and restaurants and cafes.
