Editor's notes

Warwick hands you its scoring sheet. The how-to-apply page lists five competencies (strategic thinking, creativity, drive for results, personal impact, leading others) and asks you to evidence them. Map one concrete example to each before you write anything. Adjectives don't count as evidence.
Choose your scholarship category like it's final, because it is. You pick one, and Warwick won't let you resubmit under another. Awards run 10% to 50% and go out on a rolling basis, so an early, complete file in Round 1 (Oct. 18, 2026) or Round 2 (Nov. 15, 2026) keeps more money on the table.
Plan on the GMAT or GRE. There's no minimum, but the current class averages 615 on GMAT Focus, and the Warwick Test is offered only to some candidates after interview. Don't build your timeline around an alternative you might not be offered.
The class is small and almost entirely international: 70 students in the Class of 2025, 93% from outside the UK, with an average age of 31. Your referees should be able to talk about business results, since Warwick wants at least one from a current line manager.
