What Students Say
Likes
- I really liked how diverse Warwick is, there are students from all over the world which give students the opportunity to engage with people from different backgrounds and learn about their cultures.
- It’s a massive 720 acres campus, felt like a small student city itself where one can do so much. There’s cafes, restaurants, pubs, sports complex, theatre etc everything within the same campus so it became super easy to socialise and make friends.
- There are 13 different accommodations to choose from, they all have different characteristics for example private washrooms, shared washrooms, small rooms, big rooms etc, basically a place for everyone based on your preferences. They also allocate your accommodate based on your personality by making you fill out a quick personality questionnaire which I think is a nice thing you do. For example, some people prefer party hostels which some prefer quiet ones.
Dislikes
- It’s an expensive place to study, the tuition fees can be quite exorbitant plus the living expenses on campus are quite high. Sometimes it can be a bit difficult to afford
- The wifi on campus used to buffer a lot and caused a lot of problems especially when I was in first year. I wish they had better wifi throughout campus
- The coursework and the grading can be quite intense sometimes. Given it’s a highly competitive university, it can be a bit difficult to understand the coursework and score high grades. The professors were quite strict in terms of grading assignments and didn’t give high scores too easily unless it was an exceptional piece of work.
Course Curriculum
10
- The course was a mix of both practical and theory. It was pretty intense as it was a double honours in Accounting as well as Finance but if studied efficiently then it wasn't that difficult to manage.
- I really liked the course's reputation in the UK and it's quite an attractive course to employers too. I enjoyed doing accounting in high school so I wanted to continue studying that at a good business school. I don't think there's any negative aspect, I thoroughly enjoyed my course at Warwick.
- I also felt that it was quite versatile as they taught a variety of modules ranging from different types of accounting, finance modules, business and corporate law, economics, statistics, sustainability modules etc.
Admission Experience
- I applied to 5 UK universities for the same course. The 5 universities are: Warwick, Bath, Birmingham, Queen Mary, LSE (BSc Accounting and Finance in all the 5 unis)
- I got accepted into universities all except LSE.
- It was possibly because they didn’t find my personal statement that strong, I did meet all the academic criteria but it was probably the personal statement
- Warwick's reputation is quite good worldwide, it was number 1 for my course BSc Accounting and Finance in the entire UK. Plus, the massive campus really attracted me. The diverse set of students, faculty and breadth of opportunities like more than 250 student societies and clubs for students to join, participate in sustainability challenges, a global network in London etc all influenced my decision. Application process: It was a 4000 characters personal statement, 2 Letters of reference from school, class X actual grades and class XII predicted grades in the initial application. Then I got a conditional offer giving me a couple of conditions like 90% overall in class XII and 90% in maths class XII exam. Once I got my actual grades and submitted it to Warwick, I got an unconditional offer. There's no entrance exam required for my course, however, one needs minimum 90-92% overall in class XII and around 90-90% in Maths exam. The requirements change every year so it's better to check the website for that. Overall experience was really positive, Warwick took 4 months to give me an offer while other unis took 2 months so I was a bit worried that I wouldn't get in but the time they take to reply to you doesn't indicate any decision.
- September 2021 intake, Warwick's reputation is quite good worldwide, it was number 1 for my course BSc Accounting and Finance in the entire UK. Plus, the massive campus really attracted me. The diverse set of students, faculty and breadth of opportunities like more than 250 student societies and clubs for students to join, participate in sustainability challenges, a global network in London etc all influenced my decision. I applied on 27th December 2020 and got a conditional offer on 30th April 2021.
Class Schedule
10
- There's no fixed number for classes, it keeps changing every term and for every individual. On some days it was 3-4 while on some days it was 0, so it kept changing all the time. Timings start from 9 am and went till 7 pm. They were all one hour and were scheduled anytime between 9-7.
- In lectures the entire cohort of 300 people studies together while seminars are much smaller- like 20-25 people in one seminar. Im not sure about the number of Indian students but it was probably 50 out of 300.
Faculty
8
- One lecturer teaches the entire cohort of 300 people in one lecture and one seminar tutor teaches the entire seminar group of 20-25 people. The course doesn't prepare for any job in any field. Getting a job doesn't have anything to do with your degree in the UK. It works quite differently here, you have to work yourself to find a job after graduation. You can gain the transferable skills at university to get a job but the course in itself doesn't matter at all.
- The way of teaching is quite different to the Indian way of teaching, you dont really get 1-1 support from professors here and you need to rely more on your friends and peers to learn and understand. You can meet the tutors during their allocated hours for your batch but it gets a bit difficult to get the tutor to check your answers or teach you anything separately. It’s more self learning to be honest. No, faculty doesn't assist in finding any jobs anywhere.
- There's a dedicated careers team to guide you through the process and take mock interviews but you have to do everything on your own. I liked all the faculty, everyone had a different way of teaching and it was just about adapting to everyone's unique style of teaching.
Campus Life
10
- The uni only has one main campus of 720 acres and one medical school campus which is connected to the main campus. There was a 24*7 library, arts centre, sports complex including swimming, gym, tennis, basketball, cricket pitches, pubs, restaurants, cafes, bubble tea shop, grocery store etc.
- The university has more than 250 student run societies and clubs which any student could join. They ranged from academic societies like accounting society, physics society etc to random societies like animals society, taylor swift society etc. One could buy the membership of these societies and attend their events, most of them were free. One could also buy the sports membership and play whenever they want to play. Eurovision was one major event which happens in May every year.
Part Time Jobs
- I am not sure about the TA , DA And RA positions because I have never come across those kinds of positions. Other positions are kitchen assistant, waiter, bartender, student ambassador, social media ambassador etc.
- The max number of hours allowed per week on a student visa is 20. It's very competitive to get these positions. Like for the ambassador role I had to go through multiple rounds of interviews to get in.
- 10-12 GBP per hour. It's a bit competitive to find part time jobs given there are so many applicants. The usual process is to submit your CV and a cover letter. If its gets shortlisted then you have to go through one or multiple rounds of interview. Applications can be submitted on warwick's website or this employment website called Unitemps. Warwick supports unitemps and usually advertises most of its part time jobs on unitemps.
Placement
10
- I am not sure about the percentage. Salaries depend on the job you do, the employment opportunities in the UK are quite varied and there's no average salary range whatsoever, every job pays quite differently and given its a super confidential and sensitive topic in the UK, salaries are not published anywhere, you only get to know them if you get the job.
- Students have to look for jobs on the company's website and apply directly. The process is CV and cover letter followed by 3-6 rounds of interviews for finance roles. The market is super competitive and for 5-10 positions there are more than 50000 applications from all over the world. Because of this only a few applicants reach the interview stages. Some companies are Amazon, HSBC, Barclays, JP Morgan, Citi etc.
Accommodation
Off Campus
10
- I stayed on campus for two years and off campus for one year. You can find on campus accommodation on the university's website. I had my own room with my private washroom in my first year, the kitchen was shared with 7 other people including girls and boys. It was around 160 GBP per week. All the basic furniture like bed, desk, chair etc was included in the bedroom and basic kitchen appliances were included in the kitchen.
- To look for off campus accommodation I took help from seniors to see where they stay and also looked up nearby off campus accommodations. It wasn't challenging, it's just that I had to do quite a few viewing before finalising one. It was also difficult to decide who to live with. Off campus accommodations are spread in different cities and towns like Coventry, Canley and Leamington Spa. Most of the Indian students stay at The Union and Station House in Leamington Spa. Coventry was like a 20 mins bus ride from campus. Leamington was like a 30-40 mins bus ride from campus.
Exams
- Application process: It was a 4000 characters personal statement, 2 Letters of reference from school, class X actual grades and class XII predicted grades in the initial application. Then I got a conditional offer giving me a couple of conditions like 90% overall in class XII and 90% in maths class XII exam.
- Once I got my actual grades and submitted it to Warwick, I got an unconditional offer. There's no entrance exam required for my course, however, one needs minimum 90-92% overall in class XII and around 90-90% in Maths exam. The requirements change every year so it's better to check the website for that.
Fees
- The annual tuition changes every year, the website of the university says the updated tuition and accommodation fees every year. When I started my tuition fee per annum was around d 27000 GBP and it did increase a bit every year. You have the option of paying in in one go or you can do it in three instalments, one in September, one in January and one in April.
- Accommodation fees varies on the type of accommodation you choose, there are 13 different accommodations at Warwick and the fee structure differs for every single one of them and it changes every month. What i paid in September 2021 is significantly different than what the current fees is so it's highly advised to check the website for the updated price.
- Monthly expenses depend on the individual really, I used to spend around 150-200 GBP per month on groceries, transport, going out etc. It's very subjective so it used to change every month because in some months I used to go out more than the others so there's no fixed or average figure.
Scholarship
- I didn't receive any scholarship but there was the undergraduate global excellence scholarship available in 2021. They had three different categories, covering 2000 GBP, 13000 GBP and full tuition fees.
- They had different number of scholarships available under every category and it also changes every year so it must be quite different than what it used to be 4 years back.
