The University is located in the heart of England, adjacent to the city of Coventry - 3 miles (5 kilometres) from the city centre - and on the border with Warwickshire. The University of Warwick is justifiably proud of the environment within which it is set - this is a great place to live, work, research and study.

The University is committed to environmental sustainability, and transport and travel to, from and around the University campus has a large role to play in this.

Warwick is a campus university with the main site being Central Campus and two smaller campuses, Westwood and Gibbet Hill within walking distance. The entrances to Gibbet Hill campus and the Central Campus are in Gibbet Hill Road, whilst the entrance to the Westwood site is in Kirby Corner Road.

A second site at Wellesbourne is home to School of Life Sciences Wellesbourne Campus.
