About Coventry University
Coventry University is a forward-looking modern university whose roots can be traced back to 1843 to the Coventry School of Design. With a proud tradition as a provider of high quality education and a focus on multidisciplinary research, the University has established a robust academic presence regionally, nationally and across the world. Through its links with leading-edge businesses and organisations in a variety of countries and industries, Coventry University’s 25,000+ students enjoy access to placements and international opportunities, which ensure that their employment prospects are enhanced by the time they graduate. Its students also benefit from state-of-the-art equipment and facilities, on both its Coventry and London campuses, in all academic disciplines, from health, business and performing arts to industrial design, engineering and computing. In recent years Coventry’s student satisfaction levels and teaching quality have been rated amongst the best in the UK, which in turn has led to impressive rises in every major university league table. As of 2018 the institution is the
country’s top modern university in the Guardian University Guide in which it ranks 12th overall – we have risen to a top 12 position in the Guardian University Guide 2018 and are The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide ‘Modern University of the Year’ for 2014, 2015 and 2016. Coventry is recognised internationally for its expertise in peacebuilding, serious games and disaster management, and for the world-leading calibre of its engineering and design graduates – particularly in the automotive field. It was awarded the prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise in 2015 in recognition of its inter- national growth and success over the past six years. Underpinning much of the success is a strong focus on teaching and learning which permeates through everything – even the design and layout of the buildings. Lecture rooms in the newest facilities, for example, can transform into 360 degree amphitheatres to bring a more intimate, immersive element to the discussion, and learning spaces are open and adaptable to encourage sharing of ideas and
disrupt the traditional one-way flow of information from lecturer to student.
