WBS is a large, dynamic and thriving triple accredited school at the University of Warwick, with a vision to be Europe’s leading University-based Business School. Our work is based on our drive to develop cutting-edge research, to provide a transformational learning experience and to work in partnership with policy and practice.

University of Warwick
The University of Warwick is a modern, world-class campus-based university located at the heart of the United Kingdom, on the outskirts of Coventry – the UK’s City of Culture for 2021. The University’s location means that you will be well connected to the major towns and cities of the UK and will be able to enjoy the countryside of Warwickshire. There is a lot of information on the University’s main web site which will tell you about the University, our campus and our thriving multicultural community:

As a campus-based university, you will have immediate access to a range of social, sporting and cultural opportunities to make your time at Warwick as enjoyable and as fulfilling as possible. Please explore our campus and what it can offer you during your studies:

If you need help securing somewhere to stay during your studies Warwick Accommodation is on hand to help you. They offer a range of off-campus options. We would recommend staying south of the campus, in the towns of Kenilworth or Leamington Spa. Both have great bus links to campus and plenty of lovely places for eating and drinking:

Academic Programme Structure
WBS offers QTEM students the opportunity to undertake an academic term at two different points in the year:
Spring Term: January-March
Three pathways available (Finance, Business, Analytics)
Summer Term: April-July
Two pathways available (Business, Analytics)
For each of the possible pathways, the modules available in 2019/20 were:
Spring Term
Summer term
Term Dates
Teaching will take place during the term dates below:
2020/21:
Spring Term: Monday 11 January 2021 – Saturday 20 March 2021
Summer Term: Monday 26 April 2021 – Saturday 3 July 2021
2021/22:
Spring Term: Monday 10 January 2022 – Saturday 19 March 2022
Summer Term: Monday 25 April 2022 – Saturday 2 July 2022
For the Spring Term, modules are taught across the duration of the term, so you will be studying your modules simultaneously. We expect all students to arrive no later than Monday 11 January 2021/ 10 January 2022 to be inducted and begin their studies, and students will be required to be on campus until at least Saturday 20 March 2021/ 19 March 2022 to complete their teaching. It is then up to the student if they wish to stay in the UK until their exams in late April/early May, or to return home and come back.
For the Summer Term, the modules are block taught, which means each module is taught either across one or two weeks. This means you may have weeks during the term that you are not undertaking any face to face study. The total face to face study for the Summer Term will be four weeks. However, we will be running an induction for students in the week beginning Monday 26 April 2021/ 25 April 2022, and all students will need to be on campus until the end of the term for the Business in Practice module, so we would recommend that students are resident in the UK for the duration of the Summer Term. The Summer Term modules do not have exams.
Students will have the same overall workload (including face to face hours) in both terms; the teaching is simply spread differently.
Assessments
WBS modules are assessed by group work, tests, examinations* and individual essays, or a combination of these methods.
*Spring term only
Assessment Marks
The UK University marking system is based on a percentage scheme (1-100%), rather than an alpha system of A-F, etc. The pass mark for postgraduate modules is 50%.
How to Apply
All QTEM students must be selected through a competitive process undertaken by your home institution and the central QTEM Team. Please contact your home institution for information on this process.
We expect all students to meet a minimum level of English to be able to study with us. If you are a non-native speaker of English and have not been educated in English for your current or previous degree, we expect students to meet the following criteria:
IELTS (academic) 7.0 – all four language elements have to be scored 6.0+, with a maximum of two language components at lowest level 6.0 or 6.5
PTE (academic) 7.0 – with 51+ in every section
CPE/CAE – 190 overall; 2 x 170, 2 x 190
TOEFL 100 – minimum language components L21, R22, W21, S23.
Living Costs
You will need to budget for a range of expenditure during your time at Warwick including food, toiletries, laundry, social activities, travel, etc. As a guide, we would suggest that you budget for at least £600 per calendar month for general living expenses; this is in addition to your accommodation costs. If you need any help or guidance on financial or welfare matters, you can contact the Warwick Students’ Union.
