Its illustrious medieaval past can be seen in its remaining timber-framed buildings, whilst its modern day fame as a centre for peace and reconciliation is evident in its striking modern cathedral.

Just south of the University of Warwick lie Shakespeare’s Stratford-upon-Avon and historic Warwick itself, home to Britain’s finest medieaval castle. Birmingham, the UK’s second city, is also only 20 minutes away.

The University of Warwick’s central location means it is easily accessible by road, rail and air: Birmingham International Airport is only 20 minutes from campus and London is only 65 minutes away by train.
