Prizes are awarded at the end of each term for accommodation blocks that have reduced their energy and water usage the most. Read more about the competition and get tips on reducing energy and water!

Warwick's teaching is world class and this year we are The Times and The Sunday Times University of the Year for Teaching Quality! Our WATE awards give you the chance to recognise the excellence of those who teach and support you academically each year. Nominations are now open and this year you can nominate educators for a range of awards celebrating collaboration, culture, learning at Faculty level, personal tutoring and early career teaching. Find out more about the categories and nominate those who inspire and support you!
Become a judge for the WATE awards
The WATE team is looking for undergraduate and postgraduate student judges from each Faculty to serve on judging panels for the awards - a great opportunity for development. Read more and apply to be a judge.
Updated guidance about face coverings at Warwick
The decision has been taken to keep existing face covering guidance in place at Warwick until the end of term 2. Our priority is for you to have the best learning experience possible including being able to continue with blended learning, and to keep enjoying campus and life outside of your studies. We're therefore taking a cautious approach to minimise the risk of transmission and keep our community safe. Thank you for doing your bit to keep yourself and those around you safe. Check the full guidance for face coverings on campus.
