Warwick University is an OPTIMA Partner University. The OPTIMA PI is Juergen Branke, a member of the OPTIMA Scientific Advisory Committee. Please follow the links below to determine if there is a Warwick supervisor that is suitable to help you fulfil your PhD project.

There are two exchange opportunities still available at Warwick University in 2023.

Before you submit your expression of interest for the OPTIMA Outgoing Student Exchange, you must have contacted both supervisors to discuss the project. They will then make a final decision based on your expression of interest.

After submitting the expression of interest, please wait up to three weeks for a final decision. The OPTIMA Centre Manager will seek written confirmation from your OPTIMA supervisor and the Warwick University supervisor before the exchange is finalised.
