I can't say anything specific to Warwick but my advice to anyone looking at 
postgrad study is to go along to the department you are interested in and 
have a chat with them. Email the postgrad coordinator and/or any particular 
members of staff you would like to work with. Give them a couple of weeks 
notice and they will almost certainly be happy to see you. If there are 
particular courses you are interested in ask if you can sit in on a seminar.

I did all this last year and had quite a pleasant day at Sheffield. Some of 
the folk on this list were kind enough to show me around, for which I thank 
them again.

If you are a potential postgrad student most departments will be very keen 
to encourage you into their clutches (apart from anything else you represent 
a fair slice of filthy lucre), and if they aren't then that alone is a 
reason to seriously consider whether or not you really want to spend such a 
lot of time and money there.
