About
Black Women’s Project started at the University of Warwick in 2015 with a mission to tackle the attainment gap, which showed that Black students were 15.6% less likely to achieve a 2:1 or First-Class degree. Over time, we’ve grown into much more than that- a vibrant community focused on supporting the wellbeing and growth of black women at university.Since then, BWP has expanded to other universities, including Southampton, Leeds and as of 2024, York!To welcome our new members, we've also created a BWP guide to York to help you get settled in and make the most of your time here.
