Location

The campus occupies 290 hectares on three adjacent sites, which are characterised by pleasant lakes and luscious woods, magnificent flowers and charming landscaped gardens.


The University of Warwick is within 3 miles away from the centre of Coventry, one of the major cities in the UK. Each year Coventry hosts the Godiva Festival, known as the UK’s biggest and best free family music festival. You can also enjoy award-winning city attractions such as the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum and the Coventry Transport Museum.


The 18th century town of Royal Leamington Spa is also within easy reach of campus: it’s home to lots of Warwick students. Plus, Birmingham, the UK’s official second city, is a mere 20 minutes away from Coventry train station. Or the bright lights of London are just an hour’s train journey away.


We’re also close to historic centres like Kenilworth, Warwick and Stratford-upon-Avon, Shakespeare’s birthplace. London is within 2 hours by train.
