Welcome to Coventry University
Coventry University welcomes students from all over the world. If you choose to study there, you’ll join students from over 130 countries.
The main campus is in the city of Coventry in the centre of England where over 250 courses are taught in a wide range of subject areas. The city is one hour from London and 20 minutes from Birmingham by train. The University offers the flexibility of studying in London in addition to the main campus in Coventry, and also across three intakes (January, May and September).
Coventry University values good teaching to give students the best possible learning opportunities. The University is a top 13 UK university in the Guardian University Guide 2019 and recently gained a Gold rating in the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF). This is a UK government standard of teaching in colleges and universities.
The financial investment can be a concern. Thankfully, Coventry is an affordable city for students and was recently voted as the fourth most affordable city for students in the UK. As one of the top five student cities in the UK (QS Best Student Cities 2018), the city welcomes students from across the world with facilities to make them feel at home. With roughly 40% coming from overseas, you’ll have more opportunities to meet like-minded people.
Coventry University is currently investing GBP89 million in student accommodation to provide 1,800 students with rooms in the city centre. Student accommodation is secure and many buildings are just a short walk from campus.
Coventry University takes real pride in having an engaging Students’ Union. Events go on throughout the year including ‘world cinema’ showings and live music. There are plenty of sports clubs with societies to suit different interests, from Jiu Jitsu to skydiving, but also by country, faith, interest and course of study. There are thriving societies for India, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Hindu faith and postgraduates, to name a few.

BA Automotive Design student Chao Wang, who graduated with a first-class honours degree in 2016, and has spent the last two years building his own supercar!
“A Club in China bought a Batmobile for an exhibition and Jay Leno had once tested a Batmobile in his video. That was really awesome. You can imagine the feeling when seeing a Batmobile in our real world! The Batmobile really shocked me, and I really liked my FMP model, so I thought it would great if my design could become a real car and I decided to give it a try.”
“I always wanted to make my design into reality. Nothing can be more exciting than that. I wanted to prove that my design actually works. The most helpful process I learned was from my final project where I created a clay model. It was a 1:5 model, and I used 500kg clay, I spent 7 months making the model, then resin turnover. The power of dream is what made me take this further!”
“l spent 7 months making the full-scale model, 2 weeks learning electrode welding. then l built the chassis. The engine and transmission l got from an Audi A6 - I reinstalled them on the middle of the welded chassis.”
“A new challenge emerged every day and I cracked on with it. I spent a week learning how to make an acrylic windshield - I learned this by myself and made the most of what I learned.”
“I sent my automotive design sketches to Mercedes Benz when I was in high school and they recommended a number of the best design schools in the world to me, and Coventry University was at the top of the list. I had been studying Bioengineering at University of Strasbourg in France, but I was bored with this subject because it wasn’t what I wanted to do. So, I came to Coventry and restarted everything.”
