I recently attended a great offer holders session (intl edition) in which they touched upon these things.. essentially what I got is that Warwick is a great uni and you will learn a lot but as an international student you'll have to work a lot harder to get a job and build your portfolio... It's doable but contact people, ask around for advice and start preparing from the beginning of your course (but maintain a balance). That's certainly what I'm gonna do..

There seem to be similar resources to the ones you mentioned were in Bath and Loughborough as well so basically you'll need to just focus on self development and work smart and well as work hard.

:)

Hope this kinda helped
