How University of Warwick compares in UK

The figures on this page mean little on their own. Set against the 31 other UK universities in our dataset, they say something more useful about where an application to University of Warwick is likely to be won or lost.

• Selectivity. An indicative acceptance rate of about 40% against a median of 52% across the 31 other UK universities in our dataset. 6 of them are harder to get into than University of Warwick. It sits on the more selective side of its national peer group, so meeting the published minimums is the floor rather than the goal.
• Rank in context. QS #69, against a peer median of #108; 9 UK universities rank above it here. Rank is worth exactly this much and no more — it is driven by institution-wide research output and reputation surveys, not by the department you would actually join, so treat it as a coarse filter and judge the programme on its own page.
• English bar. IELTS 6.5 against a peer median of 6.5. That is exactly the national norm, so a score built for this application should travel across your whole shortlist. Equivalents: TOEFL 85, PTE 58.

Programme areas: MSc Computer Science · MSc Data Analytics · MSc Business Analytics · MBA (WBS) · MSc Finance. Entry requirements are set per programme, not per university, so the figures above are the institutional baseline — a competitive department inside an accessible university can run far tighter than the headline rate suggests.

Practical order of work for University of Warwick: clear the English requirement first, because it gates everything and is the only part of the application you fully control; then confirm which of the Sep intakes you are targeting, since the typical deadline is Rolling and funding decisions usually close before admission decisions; then build the application around one specific programme rather than the institution. Budget the application fee of $50–100 per programme, and living costs of £12,000–15,000/yr (£13,347 for visa) on top of tuition of £30k/yr.

Figures here are indicative and compiled for comparison. Acceptance rates in particular are institution-level estimates and move year to year — confirm anything you are deciding on against the university's official pages.
