Undergraduate Research Conferences - call for abstracts is open
We're excited to share that Warwick will be hosting the World Congress on Undergraduate Research (WCUR) and British Conference of Undergraduate Research (BCUR) on campus in April 2023. The call for abstracts to present at WCUR and BCUR is now open until 16 November 2022. This is a great opportunity to present a new research project, or a project you're already working on. We encourage creativity and innovation, and celebrate diversity of voice, ideas, and form of presentation. Find out more, attend an Abstract Writing workshop to guide you through the abstract writing process, and submit an abstract. |

Support and safety
Wellbeing: making and supporting friends
Friends are a key part of life, especially at university when you're away from home. We understand that it can be hard to make connections straight away and they often take time. We have some tips for you on meeting new people and making friends. Once these bonds are formed, friends can be an important source of support. Check through our advice on how to support others. For more information and resources, please see here.
Cost of Living hub: on-campus spaces and offers
Check out our Cost of Living sub-page with a focus on spaces and facilities on campus. You can find out about Warwick Retail's new offers and competitions which will run throughout Term 1, and through the Students’ Union #endperiodpoverty campaign, you can access free menstrual care products from SU HQ Reception or the SU Advice Centre.
