About Us

Our History

The University of Warwick was granted its Royal Charter of Incorporation by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 1965 and the establishment of a conservative association was soon to follow as one of Warwick's first societies.

Throughout the decades, we have dedicated ourselves to promoting the centre-right cause on campus and providing a place for common minds to meet, socialise, and build friendships.

Several generations of conservatives have passed through the association and gone on to accomplish great things, but the UWCA continues to grow stronger than ever.
