Coventry University

Coventry University is a public research university in Coventry, England. The origins of Coventry University can be linked to the founding of the Coventry School of Design in 1843.

We are a dynamic university that provides high-quality education to our students.

We continue to invest in our staff, students, and facilities as part of our goal to become one of the UK’s leading universities. Our ethos is one of support, trust integrity, and respect while valuing diversity.

We are a forward-looking, modern university with a proud tradition as a provider of high quality education and a focus on applied research.

Our students benefit from state-of-the-art equipment and facilities in all academic disciplines including health, design, and engineering laboratories, performing arts studios, and computing centres. We have been chosen to host three national Centres of Excellence in Teaching and Learning which has enabled us to invest substantial sums of money in health, design, and mathematics.

Our city-center campus is continually developing and evolving, and we have plans for further investment in it over the next few years. We are a major presence in Coventry, which contributes to the city's friendly and vibrant atmosphere and also enables us to foster successful business partnerships.

Through our links with leading-edge businesses and organizations in the public and voluntary sectors, our students are able to access project and placement opportunities that enhance their employability on graduation.
