==History==
===Twentieth century===
[[File:Library Under Construction 1965.png|thumb|Library under construction in the 1960s]]
The idea for a university in Warwickshire was first mooted shortly after [[World War II]], although it was not founded for a further two decades. A partnership of the city and county councils ultimately provided the impetus for the university to be established on a {{convert|400|acre|km2|adj=on}} site jointly granted by the two authorities.<ref name="rees">Rees, H., ''A University is Born'', Avalon Books, Coventry (1989)</ref> There was some discussion between local sponsors from both the city and county over whether it should be named after Coventry or Warwickshire.<ref name="rees" /> The name "University of Warwick" was adopted, even though [[Warwick]], the county town, lies some {{convert|8|mi|km}} to its southwest and [[Coventry]]'s city centre is only {{convert|3.5|mi|km}} northeast of the campus.<ref>A compromise was proposed by [[Geoffrey Templeman]], Deputy Chairman of the university's planning committee, who later became the first [[Vice-Chancellor]] of Kent University on the border between the City of [[Canterbury]] and the county of [[Kent]] which faced a similar naming issue, and adopted the name [[University of Kent|University of Kent at Canterbury]]. However, the name the 'University of Warwick at Coventry' was not adopted.</ref><ref>[[Graham Martin]], ''From Vision to Reality: the Making of the University of Kent at Canterbury'' (1990) page 29 {{ISBN|0-904938-03-4}}</ref><ref>Its creation was supported by [[University of Birmingham]] Vice-Chancellor [[Sir Robert Aitken]] who acted as 'Godfather to the University of Warwick'.  The initial plan was for a university college at Coventry attached to Birmingham but Aitken advised an independent initiative to the University Grants Committee.</ref><ref>Ives, E. (2000). The First Civic University: Birmingham, 1880–1980 – An Introductory History. Birmingham: University of Birmingham Press</ref> The establishment of the University of Warwick was given approval by the government in 1961 and it received its [[Royal Charter]] of Incorporation in 1965. Since then, the university has incorporated the former [[Coventry College of Education]] in 1979 and has extended its land holdings by the continuing purchase of adjoining farm land. The university also benefited from a substantial donation from the family of John Martin, a Coventry businessman who had made a fortune from investment in [[Smirnoff]] vodka, and which enabled the construction of the [[Warwick Arts Centre]].

The university admitted its first, small intake of graduate students in 1964, and took its first 450 undergraduates in October 1965. Since its establishment Warwick has expanded its grounds to {{convert|721|acre|km2|1}}, with many modern buildings and academic facilities, lakes, and woodlands. In the 1960s and 1970s, Warwick had a reputation as a politically radical institution.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sunion.warwick.ac.uk/30year/protests_and_campaigns.htm |title=University of Warwick Student Union |access-date=30 July 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071102174507/http://www.sunion.warwick.ac.uk/30year/protests_and_campaigns.htm |archive-date=2 November 2007 |url-status=live }}</ref> Under Vice-Chancellor [[Lord Butterworth]], Warwick was the first UK university to adopt a business approach to higher education, develop close links with the business community and exploit the commercial value of its research. These tendencies were discussed by British historian and then-Warwick lecturer, [[E. P. Thompson]], in his 1970 edited book ''Warwick University Ltd.''.<ref>{{cite book|title=Warwick University Ltd.|last=Thompson|first=E.

On the recommendation of then-Prime Minister [[Tony Blair]], [[Bill Clinton]] chose Warwick as the venue for his last major foreign policy address as [[President of the United States|US President]] in December 2000. [[Sandy Berger]], Clinton's [[National Security Advisor (United States)|National Security Advisor]], explaining the decision in a press briefing on 7 December 2000, said that: "Warwick is one of Britain's newest and finest research universities, singled out by Prime Minister Blair as a model both of academic excellence and independence from the government."<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |title=Special White House Briefing by NSC Advisor Berger on President Clinton's Trip to Ireland and the United Kingdom |url=https://warwick.ac.uk/services/communications/corporate/clinton/whitehousebrief/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050505084252/http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/services/communications/corporate/clinton/whitehousebrief/ |archive-date=5 May 2005 |access-date=19 February 2024 |website=warwick.ac.uk}}</ref>

==Campus==
Warwick is located on the outskirts of [[Coventry]], {{convert|5.5|km|mi|abbr=on|order=flip}} southwest of the city centre and not in the town of [[Warwick]] as its name suggests. The university's main site comprises three contiguous campuses, all within walking distance of each other. The university also owns a site in [[Wellesbourne]], acquired in 2004 when it merged with [[Horticulture Research International]].

===Main campus===
The main Warwick campus occupies {{convert|2.88|km2|acre|order=flip}} between the City of [[Coventry]] and the County of [[Warwickshire]]. The original buildings of the campus are in contemporary 1960s architecture. The campus contains all of the main student amenities, all but four of the student halls of residence, and the Students' Union. The campus is split between the parliamentary constituencies of [[Kenilworth]] and [[Southam]] and [[Coventry South]].

====University House====
In 2003, Warwick acquired the former headquarters of [[National Grid plc|National Grid]], which it converted into an administration building renamed University House. There is a student-run facility called the ‘Learning Grid’ in the building, which includes two floors of PC clusters, scanners, photocopiers, a reference library, interactive whiteboards and plasma screens for use by individuals and for group work.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/education/librariesunleashed/story/0,,2275364,00.html|title=Warwick learning grid|access-date=16 November 2011|work=The Guardian|location=London|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101226082758/http://education.guardian.co.uk/librariesunleashed/story/0,,2275364,00.html|archive-date=26 December 2010|url-status=live}}</ref>

The ''Koan'' was made in 1971 as part of the Peter Stuyvesant Foundation City Sculpture Project and was originally sited in Plymouth; it moved to the [[Hayward Gallery]] in London before being purchased by Warwick in 1972.<ref name=Lijn/> 

The ''Koan'' was temporarily relocated to the university's Gibbet Hill campus during refurbishments to the Warwick Arts Centre; it was returned upon completion of the project.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.whatsonlive.co.uk/warwickshire/news/warwick-arts-centres-white-koan-goes-on-the-move/38694|title=Warwick Arts Centre's White Koan goes on the move|website=www.whatsonlive.co.uk|access-date=19 April 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190419103128/https://www.whatsonlive.co.uk/warwickshire/news/warwick-arts-centres-white-koan-goes-on-the-move/38694|archive-date=19 April 2019|url-status=live}}</ref> According to student newspaper ''[[The Boar (newspaper)|The Boar]]'', the white Koan has played a role in many of campus' myths and legends – it was allegedly the nose-cap of the [[Blue Streak (missile)|Blue-Streak Missile]], a supposed quick escape route for senior staff, and even a signalling device for aliens in outer space.<ref name="theboar.org">{{cite web |last1=Mitchell |first1=Ellie |title=Koan has returned to Warwick Arts Centre |url=https://theboar.org/2021/12/koan-returned-warwick-arts/ |website=[[The Boar (newspaper)|The Boar]]}}</ref>

===Recent developments===
In November 2005, Warwick outlined proposals for how it would like to develop its campus over the next fifteen years.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://warwick.ac.uk/about/campusdevelopment/|title=Campus Development—The Masterplan |publisher=warwick.ac.uk|access-date=19 April 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190102114017/https://warwick.ac.uk/about/campusdevelopment/|archive-date=2 January 2019|url-status=live}}</ref> The proposals built upon recent construction activity including a new [[Mathematics]] and [[Statistics]] Building, new [[Computer Science]] Building, new [[Business School]] buildings, a Digital Laboratory, new Residences and an expanded [[Sports]] Centre. The proposals envisage a shift in the "centre of gravity" of the campus away from the Students' Union towards University House and a proposed "Academic Square".

Developed projects included an inter-disciplinary biosciences research facility; a £25&nbsp;million upgrade to [[Warwick Business School]]; and the [[National Automotive Innovation Campus]] (NAIC), a new £150&nbsp;million venture funded by [[Jaguar Land Rover]] and the UK government.

It garnered reputation for its idiosyncratic and surreal "theory-fiction" which incorporated [[philosophy]], [[cyberpunk]], and [[occultism]], and its work has since had an online [[cult following]] related to the rise in popularity of [[accelerationism]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Wilson |first=Rowan |date=January 16, 2017 |title=They Can Be Different in the Future Too: Mark Fisher interviewed |url=https://www.versobooks.com/blogs/news/3051-they-can-be-different-in-the-future-too-mark-fisher-interviewed |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250217195507/https://www.versobooks.com/blogs/news/3051-they-can-be-different-in-the-future-too-mark-fisher-interviewed |archive-date=February 17, 2025 |access-date=2025-03-06 |website=Verso Books |language=en}}</ref><ref name="beckett">{{cite news |last1=Beckett |first1=Andy |author-link=Andy Beckett |date=11 May 2017 |title=Accelerationism: how a fringe philosophy predicted the future we live in |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/may/11/accelerationism-how-a-fringe-philosophy-predicted-the-future-we-live-in |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170511050642/https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/may/11/accelerationism-how-a-fringe-philosophy-predicted-the-future-we-live-in |archive-date=May 11, 2017 |accessdate=29 May 2020 |work=The Guardian}}</ref> 

The CCRU are strongly associated with former leading members [[Sadie Plant]], [[Mark Fisher]] and [[Nick Land]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Cybernetic Culture Research Unit - Monoskop|url=https://monoskop.org/Cybernetic_Culture_Research_Unit|access-date=2021-05-02|website=monoskop.org}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Doyle|first=Rob|title=Writing On Drugs by Sadie Plant (1999)|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/books/writing-on-drugs-by-sadie-plant-1999-1.3969899|access-date=2021-05-02|website=The Irish Times|language=en}}</ref> Established at the University of Warwick philosophy department, the group listed their interests as "cinema, complexity, currencies, dance music, e-cash, encryption, feminism, fiction, images, inorganic life, jungle, markets, matrices, microbiotics, multimedia, networks, numbers, perception, replication, sex, simulation, sound, telecommunications, textiles, texts, trade, video, virtuality, war". [[Iain Hamilton Grant]] notes ''[[Neuromancer]]'' as particularly influential to the group's formation.<ref name="beckett" /> In addition to drawing inspiration from [[Gilles Deleuze]] and [[Félix Guattari]]'s ''[[Anti-Oedipus]]'' and ''[[A Thousand Plateaus]]'', to which references can be found in the CCRU's writings, the collective drew inspiration from writers including [[H.

==Research==
In 2013, Warwick had a total research income of £90.1&nbsp;million, of which £33.9&nbsp;million was from Research Councils; £25.9&nbsp;million was from central government, local authorities and public corporations; £12.7&nbsp;million was from the European Union; £7.9&nbsp;million was from UK industry and commerce; £5.2&nbsp;million was from UK charitable bodies; £4.0&nbsp;million was from overseas sources; and £0.5&nbsp;million was from other sources.<ref name=annacc/> In the 2014 UK [[Research Excellence Framework]] (REF), Warwick was again ranked 7th overall amongst multi-faculty institutions and was the top-ranked university in the Midlands.<ref name="RAE 2008">{{cite web |url=https://warwick.ac.uk/insite/newsandevents/intnews2/rae_2008_150 |title=RAE 2008 Outstanding Results |publisher=University of Warwick |access-date=16 August 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110714054931/http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/insite/newsandevents/intnews2/rae_2008_150 |archive-date=14 July 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref> 87% of the university's academic staff were rated as being in "world-leading" or "internationally excellent" departments with top research ratings of 4* or 3*.<ref name="RAE 2008"/>

Warwick is particularly strong in the areas of decision sciences research including [[economics]], [[finance]], [[management]], [[mathematics]] and [[statistics]]. For instance, researchers of Warwick Business School have won the highest prize of the prestigious European Case Clearing House.<ref>{{cite web |last=Bradshaw |first=Della |url=http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/2/07e23e0c-7c57-11e2-99f0-00144feabdc0.html |title=Warwick, Harvard and Insead scoop the academic 'Oscars' |work=Financial Times |date=25 February 2013 |access-date=16 August 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150301045204/http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/2/07e23e0c-7c57-11e2-99f0-00144feabdc0.html |archive-date=1 March 2015 |url-status=live }}</ref> Warwick has also established a number of stand-alone units to manage and extract commercial value from its research activities. The four most prominent examples of these units are [[University of Warwick Science Park]]; [[Warwick HRI]]; Warwick Ventures; and [[WMG (formerly Warwick Manufacturing Group)|WMG]].

===Commercial focus===
Warwick has at times received criticism for being too commercially focused, at the expense of academic creativity and diversity. The most famous proponent of this critique was the noted historian [[E. P. Thompson]], who edited and wrote much of  ''Warwick University Ltd'' in 1971.<ref>{{cite book| title = Warwick University Limited| author = E. P. Thompson| isbn = 978-0-14-080230-6| publisher = Penguin| year = 1970}}</ref> The book focuses on the brief student occupation of the Registry in 1967, and its causes, the files that were discovered and published, and the subsequent actions of the university, students and staff.

Nevertheless, with the appointment of [[Nick Scheele|Sir Nicholas Scheele]] as Chancellor in 2002, the university signalled that it intended to continue and expand its commercial activities. In an interview for the BBC, Scheele said: "I think in the future, education and industry need to become even more closely linked than they have been historically. As government funding changes, the replacement could well come through private funding from companies, individuals and grant-giving agencies."<ref>{{cite news | url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/2342371.stm | work=BBC News | title=Ford boss: 'Business to fund universities' | date=19 October 2002 | access-date=28 March 2010 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071220174545/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/2342371.stm | archive-date=20 December 2007 | url-status=live }}</ref>

===Student housing===
[[File:Sherbourne, University of Warwick.jpg|thumb|right|One of the Sherbourne residences]]
The Warwick campus currently has around 6,300 student bedrooms across a range of undergraduate and postgraduate residences. All of the residences are self-catered, and each has residential tutors and a warden.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://warwick.ac.uk/services/accommodation/studentaccommodation/all/campus/|title=Campus Accommodation|access-date=4 February 2012|publisher=University of Warwick|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120213192311/http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/services/accommodation/studentaccommodation/all/campus|archive-date=13 February 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref> Warwick guarantees accommodation for all first-year undergraduate students, regardless of their present address. Many of the university's postgraduate population are also catered for, with some specific residences available for postgraduate living. Each residence accommodates a mixture of students both with home and international status, male and female, and, sometimes, undergraduate and postgraduate.

In their second and third years, many students live in one of the surrounding towns: either Coventry, Canley, Kenilworth or Royal Leamington Spa, where they can live in student  accommodation or independently owned residences. Since 2011, Warwick has constructed two new halls of residences for the students. Bluebell, opened in 2011, offers accommodation in flats of eight people, with a total of 505 single rooms for first-year undergraduates. The Sherbourne residences was opened in 2012, which similarly provides 527 ensuite rooms to first-years,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://warwick.ac.uk/services/accommodation/studentaccommodation/all/campus/residences/sherbourne/|title=Warwick Accommodation|access-date=4 February 2012|publisher=University of Warwick|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120503035726/http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/services/accommodation/studentaccommodation/all/campus/residences/sherbourne|archive-date=3 May 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref> and was extended with a further 267 rooms in 2017.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://warwick.ac.uk/services/estates/developments/sherbourne_extension|title=Sherbourne Extension {{!}} Campus Timeline {{!}} University of Warwick|website=warwick.ac.uk|access-date=27 April 2019}}</ref> A further 700 new rooms were built in the Cryfield Village, namely Cryfield ‘Townhouse’ and ‘Standard’ residences.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://warwick.ac.uk/services/estates/developments/new_cryfield|title=New Residences at Cryfield Village {{!}} Campus Timeline {{!}} University of Warwick|website=warwick.ac.uk|access-date=27 April 2019}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Cryfield Standard Halls of Residence 2023 {{!}} Warwick Accommodation |url=https://warwick.ac.uk/services/accommodation/students/cryfield-standard/ |access-date=22 April 2023 |website=warwick.ac.uk}}</ref>
