The University of Warwick is a public research university created by Royal Charter in 1965, whose 290-hectare main campus sits on the sloping ground west of central Coventry, straddling the boundary between the city of Coventry and the county of Warwickshire, and not in the town of Warwick that lends it its name.华威大学（University of Warwick）是 1965 年凭皇家特许状设立的公立研究型大学，其 290 公顷的主校区坐落在考文垂市中心以西的坡地上，行政上横跨考文垂市与沃里克郡的交界带，而不在与校名同源的沃里克镇境内。
It runs three faculties covering arts, science with engineering and medicine, and the social sciences, and in 2024-25 its student body of 27880 comprised 19475 undergraduates and 8405 postgraduates, with about 43 per cent coming from outside the United Kingdom学校设艺术、科学工程与医学、社会科学三个学部，2024/25 学年在校生 27880 人，其中本科生 19475 人、研究生 8405 人，约 43% 来自英国以外，校园内代表的国家超过 120 个。
Its income for 2024-25 was 859.9 million pounds, of which 147.5 million came from research grants and contracts, and OpenAlex records 136899 works and 9416641 citations attributed to the institution.2024—2025 学年收入为 8.599 亿英镑，其中 1.475 亿英镑来自科研拨款与合约收入；OpenAlex 为该机构收录 136899 篇文献与 9416641 次引用。
History
The idea of a university for Warwickshire was first mooted in the years immediately after 1945, and a partnership between Coventry city council and Warwickshire county council ultimately provided the impetus, jointly granting a 400-acre site for the new institution.在沃里克郡办一所大学的构想最早在 1945 年后的数年间被提出，最终由考文垂市议会与沃里克郡议会联手促成，两级地方当局共同向新机构划拨了 400 英亩用地。
Local sponsors disagreed over whether the new university should be named after the city or the county, and the name University of Warwick was adopted even though Warwick, the county town, lies some 8 miles to the south-west and the centre of Coventry is only 3.5 miles north-east of the campus.地方赞助者曾就是以城市还是以郡命名产生分歧，最终定名为「华威大学」，但郡治沃里克镇其实位于校区西南约 8 英里处，考文垂市中心也只在校区东北约 3.5 英里处。
Government approval came in 1961 and the Royal Charter of Incorporation followed in 1965. The university first admitted a small cohort of graduate students in 1964 and took its first 450 undergraduates in October 1965.新大学于 1961 年获政府批准，1965 年颁布皇家特许状；学校 1964 年先招收少量研究生，1965 年 10 月迎来首批 450 名本科生。
From its original grant Warwick has expanded by the continuing purchase of adjoining farmland to 721 acres, adding modern academic buildings, lakes and woodland, and it benefited from a substantial donation from the family of Coventry businessman John Martin, whose fortune was made in Smirnoff vodka and which paid for the Warwick Arts Centre.在最初获赠土地之外，学校不断购入邻近农场，地界扩展到 721 英亩，并新增了现代教学建筑、湖泊与林地；考文垂商人 John Martin 家族的一笔大额捐赠促成了华威艺术中心的落成，其家族财富来自投资 Smirnoff 伏特加。
Between 1960 and 1979 Warwick acquired a reputation as a politically radical institution, and under Vice-Chancellor Lord Butterworth it was the first British university to adopt a business approach to higher education, build close links with the business community and exploit the commercial value of its research.1960 至 1979 年间，华威以政治激进形象著称；在副校长 Lord Butterworth 主导下，它成为英国第一所对高等教育采取企业化经营、与企业界紧密挂钩并开发科研成果商业价值的大学。
The historian E. P. Thompson, then a Warwick lecturer, set out the counter-case in Warwick University Ltd., published in 1970 and 1971, which examined the proposed social building, the students' brief occupation of the Registry in 1967, and files on the surveillance of students and staff that the occupation revealed.历史学家 E. P. Thompson 当时在华威任教，他在 1970 至 1971 年出版的《Warwick University Ltd.》一书中提出反方意见，讨论了拟议中的社会活动楼、1967 年学生短暂占据注册处事件，以及该事件暴露出的对学生与教职员工的监视档案。
Warwick incorporated the former Coventry College of Education in 1979, and in April 2004 it merged with the Wellesbourne and Kirton sites of Horticulture Research International, which brought in the Wellesbourne campus it still operates today.1979 年，学校并入原考文垂教育学院；2004 年 4 月，它与园艺研究国际公司位于威尔斯本与克尔顿的场地合并，由此获得并延续至今的威尔斯本校区。

Warwick celebrated its 50th anniversary in September 2015, the same year in which The Times and The Sunday Times named it University of the Year, and in December 2017 it abandoned a project to open a campus in Roseville, California after spending 1.2 million pounds on it.2015 年 9 月华威举行建校 50 周年庆典，同年《泰晤士报》与《星期日泰晤士报》将其评为「年度大学」；2017 年 12 月，学校在已投入 120 万英镑后决定放弃在美国加利福尼亚州罗丝维尔设立校区的计划。

Mathematics at Warwick was ranked 10th in the world by ARWU in 2019 and 19th in the world and 3rd in the UK by QS in 2020, and a new Mathematics and Statistics Building was among the projects of the campus development plan that the university outlined in November 2005.2019 年 ARWU 将华威数学列为全球第 10 位，2020 年 QS 将其列为全球第 19 位、英国第 3 位；数学与统计大楼也是学校 2005 年 11 月公布的校区发展规划所列的项目之一。
The Department of Economics and the Department of Politics and International Studies were ranked first in the United Kingdom by The Good University Guide in 2020, ahead of Oxford and Cambridge, and in 2019 nineteen of the university's 27 subjects were in the national top ten by the Complete University Guide.2020 年《卫报》优秀大学指南将华威的经济系与政治及国际研究系评为全英第一，排在牛津与剑桥之前；2019 年《完全大学指南》把该校开设的 27 个学科中的 19 个列入全国前十。

By broad subject in the 2020 QS World University Rankings Warwick stood 36th globally for social sciences, 42nd for humanities, 78th for natural sciences, 164th for engineering and technology and 204th for life sciences and medicine, a spread that locates its strength in the social and mathematical sciences rather than across the board.在 2020 年 QS 世界大学排名的大类学科榜上，华威社会科学列全球第 36 位、人文第 42 位、自然科学第 78 位、工程与技术第 164 位、生命科学与医学第 204 位，可见其优势集中在社会科学与数学，而非全学科均衡领先。
The university counts more than 40 research centres and institutes, among them the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit formed in late 1995 in the philosophy department by Sadie Plant, Mark Fisher and Nick Land, whose writings fed into accelerationism, cyberpunk and later speculative realism.学校拥有 40 多个研究中心与研究所，其中控制论文化研究小组于 1995 年末在哲学系由 Sadie Plant、Mark Fisher 与 Nick Land 发起，其著述影响了加速主义、赛博朋克，并在此后波及思辨实在论。
Research is commercialised through four stand-alone bodies, the University of Warwick Science Park, Warwick HRI, Warwick Ventures and WMG, a model of technology transfer that the historian E. P. Thompson criticised in 1970.科研成果通过四个独立机构实现产业化，即华威科学园、Warwick HRI、华威创投与华威制造集团（WMG），这种技术转移模式正是历史学家 E. P. Thompson 在 1970 年所批评的对象。
The main library at the centre of the campus holds about 1265000 books and more than 13 kilometres of archival and manuscript material, and the adjacent Modern Records Centre contains the largest industrial relations collection in the United Kingdom.位于校区中央的主图书馆藏书约 126 万册，馆藏档案与手稿绵延 13 公里以上；毗邻的现代档案中心收藏着全英最大的产业关系史料。

University House was created in 2003 from the former headquarters of the National Grid, and it contains the student-run Learning Grid with two floors of computer clusters, scanners, a reference library, interactive whiteboards and plasma screens, a deliberate shift of the centre of gravity of the campus away from the students' union.大学行政楼由 2003 年购入的原国家电网总部改建而成，楼内设有学生自主运营的 Learning Grid，含两层计算机集群、扫描仪、参考图书馆、互动白板与等离子屏，校区的「重心」由此从学生会一侧移向行政楼。
Outside the rear entrance to the arts centre stands the White Koan, a 6-metre-high rotating sculpture by Liliane Lijn decorated with ellipses of fluorescent light, made in 1971 for the Peter Stuyvesant Foundation City Sculpture Project, originally sited in Plymouth, then in the Hayward Gallery in London and bought by Warwick in 1972.艺术中心后门外矗立着「白色公案」，这是雕塑家 Liliane Lijn 1971 年为 Peter Stuyvesant Foundation 城市雕塑计划创作的作品，高 6 米，饰以荧光灯椭圆体并由电机带动旋转。它最初立于普利茅斯，后迁至伦敦海沃德美术馆，1972 年由华威购入。

Student life
The university motto is the Latin Mens agitat molem, rendered in English as The mind moves matter, and the public record of the university contains no formally adopted anthem, so ceremonial music comes from the concert halls of the Warwick Arts Centre rather than from a student-held song.校训为拉丁文 Mens agitat molem，英文意译为「心灵推动物质」；校方公开资料中未见正式校歌的记载，仪式性音乐主要来自华威艺术中心的音乐厅，而非学生自创的歌曲。
