Why Coventry University?
What’s new
Student Tanmaya Sharma travelled from India to study a BA (Hons) in Enterprise and Entrepreneurship at Coventry University. He was so happy with the innovative facilities that he came back to study an MSc in Investment Banking. This is what Tanmay had to say of his Coventry experience:
“My undergraduate course at Coventry was the number one in the entire UK and taught me the importance of due diligence and compliance, which back home it is not taken as seriously. Modules like Personal Entrepreneur and Development gave me hands on practical experience I enjoyed going out hustling and selling things in the city.
After my BA (Hons) degree I pursued a steady career in financial analytics at multinational giant, American Express in Northern India. For me, Coventry University was the best place to give me that chance to stand out above the rest. The goal is to open up my own hedge fund. Staying in Coventry means I would have access to the Bloomberg terminals, and I can maybe look at employing some students. I’ve had call-backs from employers just because I have access to Bloomberg and Thompson Reuters Icon software. Coventry really gave me a multicultural view of life. This helped me going back to India and taking calls from people in the USA, Bahrain, and Australia because it has helped me build client relationships.
I have also published a book which is called ‘The Making of a Recession’, in which I am writing in detail how and why we’re going to have the next financial crisis.
Coventry University is attracting the best of the best from India and so those entrepreneurial people go ahead and make something of their life and some bring the skills home again. In my opinion Coventry is educating the future leaders of India and I personally believe Coventry University is one of the best.”
Teaching quality
Coventry University has an excellent teaching reputation. It recently gained a gold rating in the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF), a standard set by the UK government, as well as being awarded five stars for teaching excellence by QS Stars 2018.
Teaching excellence is combined with practical experience to prepare students for professional careers. Students will 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.
