President Clinton at Warwick in 2000 President Clinton at Warwick in 2000. You know if we can bring a sitting president to the campus, we must be doing something right. The president went to Oxford, of course. We, like Oxford and Cambridge, are one of only five universities to have *always* been in all of the UK national media’s university rankings top ten. We also have joint PhD with Oxford.

Quick Facts Campus built in 1965 22,750 students One-third are non-UK students 150+ nationalities 1.04% drop out rate 150 from USA 73% of US students got a First Class or 2.1

Accounting and Finance Creative Writing Economics Film Studies In Their Words… “Warwick has been an ever-present in our top 10 over the past two decades. A place to study here is highly prized. The university tops five of our specialist subject tables this year – only two fewer than Oxford” Accounting and Finance Creative Writing Economics Film Studies Theatre Studies We’ve done amazingly well in such a short period and this has been recognised most recently via the University of the Year award in our 50th year. We’ve made phenomenal progress in just 50 years and are now comfortably ranked in world’s top 100 in the THE World Reputation Rankings (March 2015), THE World Academic Ranking (81-90), 61st in the QS World Rankings 2014/2015

Via REF UK Govt shares £2billion per year until 2020 Informs UK government’s distribution of public funds for research Last took place in 2008 (then known as RAE). Warwick ranked 7th then, too. Via REF UK Govt shares £2billion per year until 2020 Be brief on this one. In essence we have always excelled in research and we’ve done so again/ (FYI Bristol will claim 5th for research ‘intensity’ which is one aspect of the REF but in terms of overall GPAs we outrank ALL of the consortium)
