Why Coventry University?
What’s new
Coventry University has been acknowledged for the quality of its business and economics programmes in the Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings. The university is placed in the top 400 institutions in the world for its courses in the field. It speaks to the university’s commitment to provide high-quality education and learning opportunities to students.
The university has an impressive track record in business education and a number of graduates have gone on to hold significant positions across the world. With a 30-year history, the Coventry Business School offers students a top-class learning experience including a Business Simulation Suite and a Trading Floor with Bloomberg terminals. This allows them to engage in an immersive and experiential learning process, which fine-tunes critical and analytical skills. This real-world experience is invaluable when students enter the workplace.
Teaching quality
Coventry University has an excellent teaching reputation. In 2017 the university was awarded the top accolade in the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF), a government ranking of how well students are taught at UK universities. In 2019, the university was also awarded a five-star overall rating for the first time in the QS Stars awards system, confirming the breadth of excellence across teaching, research and other key indicators.
Teaching excellence is combined with practical experience to prepare students for professional careers. Students work with world-renowned researchers and the university is known for research which tackles global issues. The focus of its research areas falls under five categories:
- Intelligent products and processes, including work in hydrogen fuel cell cars and autonomous cars.
- Health and wellbeing, including children’s literacy and mental health.
- Creative cultures, including transport design and digital environments.
- Sustainability and resilience, including bee populations and rail infrastructure.
- Safety and security, including cybersecurity and migration.
Alongside the opportunity to research and study these innovative specialisations with expert researchers, students are also given the opportunity to gain practical experience.
From a moot room at the Coventry Law School to operating rooms, a midwifery suite and therapeutic treatment rooms at the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, students gain practical experience which will help them to achieve their career goals after leaving university.
The university also houses the Disruptive Media Learning Lab, a project which brings together academics, researchers, librarians and technologists to find the best ways of teaching and learning, and then put them into practice across the university.
Graduate outcomes
Coventry University has a dedicated Careers and Employability team who help students to prepare for graduation. They offer a range of advice and support, including: guidance within a student’s course, advice on gaining employability skills, CV preparation, work experience opportunities, recruitment process help and preparation for interviews and assessments. Alongside working with students and tutors, they also work with employers and mentors in a range of industries, to make sure students get the most out of their time at university. In particular, the mentoring scheme works with local organisations to help nurture students.
Particular faculties also have their own employability units to help students move into their preferred areas. The Faculty of Health and Life Sciences’ Employability and Placement Unit match students with industry leaders, whilst the Faculty of Arts and Humanities’ employability unit offers work experience, mentoring and one-to-one guidance alongside lectures and workshops from industry professionals.
Coventry is also very well placed for the National Graduate Recruitment events in nearby Birmingham, and past students have gone on to careers with prestigious organisations such as PWC, Accenture and Jaguar Land Rover.
This support doesn’t end when students leave Coventry University, and there is a large and active alumni community that students can join, whilst the Careers and Employability team continue to offer advice and help.
