Freshers
Are you coming to Warwick in September? We can’t wait to meet you!
We have lots going on in Freshers’ Week and beyond to welcome you to Warwick and the CU and to help you find a local church.
Give us a follow on Instagram to keep up to date with everything that’s going on. If you’ve got any questions, please email Sam Grand, our Vice President.
This website will be updated closer to the time with information about what’s happening!
We are not a church!
Freshers' WhatsApp Group 2025
We’d love for you to join this group chat – it’s a great way to meet others freshers – and maybe even find people studying the same course as you or living in the same accommodation! We’ll also be announcing everything we’ve got planned for you guys in the chat, including Freshaway and our events in Freshers’ Week. To join use the link below!
Welcome Week
We are running events throughout Welcome Week to introduce you guys to university life and the CU, to help you get to know us and each other and to help you find a church to get stuck into whilst at Warwick.
You can find the schedule to the right. These should also be available in your Welcome Week Timetable so make sure to add our events to it so you don’t forget!

Freshlink
“Without having my freshlink, my whole CU and university experience wouldn’t have been nearly as good: they really help you get involved and you make a great friend early on. I would highly recommend.”
A Freshlink is an older member of CU, usually on a similar course to yours, who you can meet up with on a regular basis to grab a coffee, chat, study the Bible and encourage one another in living and speaking for Jesus! They’ll be able to get in contact with you before you even start at Warwick and can answer any questions you have about the Christian Union or Warwick student life!
Freshaway 2025
We’re running a getaway for Warwick freshers from the 8th-10th September at the Tom Roberts Adventure Centre in Newent, Gloucestershire. It’ll be a great opportunity for you to meet and get to know some other freshers starting at Warwick in September, and some returning members of the CU as well! We’re also going to be hearing what the Bible has to say about life as a Christian at university and be encouraged to share our faith with those around us on campus.
If you’re interested or would like to know more, please fill out the form below. CU there!
Please get in contact if you have any questions and follow our Instagram @warwickcu for regular updates. We can’t wait to meet you!
