Coventry is an evolving and innovative university with a growing reputation for excellence in education.
Independent surveys show that we provide a caring and supportive environment, enriched by a unique blend of academic expertise and practical experience. Three words set us apart – employability, enterprise and entrepreneurship. Coventry University was ’Highly Commended’ in the Entrepreneurial University of the Year category at the Times Higher Awards 2008.
Our aim is to keep on improving. We’re investing heavily in developing our state-of-the-art facilities with £160m earmarked for improvements over the next ten years. And by seeking to enhance the strong vocational emphasis of our courses and bolstering our links with the very best industry organisations, we’re firmly focussed on preparing students for successful futures. 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.
The University occupies a purpose-built 33-acre campus in the heart of Coventry city centre. The campus buildings and environment are constantly being developed and enhanced. We are investing £160m in our campus over the next ten years, including construction of a new Student Enterprise Centre and a high-tech faculty building for Engineering and Computing.We have a ‘smart campus’ thanks to our investment in IT. There are more than 2,400 student PCs on site and the campus is fully Wi-Fi enabled.
The distinctive turreted building on campus is our £16m Library, which has over 1,200 study areas, 450 computer workstations and a wealth of learning materials and information services. The award-winning design maximises the natural light and ventilation, and there’s a bookshop and café on site too.
One of the newest additions to the campus is our £5m Student Centre, which brings together a range of key student support services under one roof, so you’ll always know where to go. Our city-centre 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.
