With the start of a new term for undergraduates, things are set to get extremely lively again on campus – but, as always, we’re here for PG students throughout the year to help try and make student life as easy as it can be. The SU is here to support you in any way we can – whether that’s through involvement in clubs & societies, academic representation, by consulting our Student Advice Centre team or just grabbing a bite to eat in one of our outlets!
You may notice some major changes to campus due to the redevelopment works, so please be aware that this has affected certain bus routes – we’ve posted more info about these below. As always, if you have any concerns whatsoever, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us via enquiries@warwicksu.com and we will do our very best to try and help!
