Coventry University Reviews

All the facilities are quite good at Coventry university. I hope the su and staffs can give more support for the international student.

They don't help students in studies or financially, If you are a student and send emails to enquire about the fees and other, they wont reply, if you call them to know the same and they know they are at fault, they will drop email by saying , this is reminder email, Also they won't help the students in studies even when the student will ask for extra attention. This is the world's worst uni, please don't fall into the trap and ruin ur career and money.

Coventry University has an excellent campus and the techincal equiptment to handle this new age of learning. However, some of the lectures think that this is an excuse not to work as hard as they otherwise could.

The facilities on campus are up to a good standard. The teachers I have encountered have all been helpful and informative during seminars. There is alot of support for students of they are struggling.

Great staff and guidance, a lot of opportunities to meet with industry and field experts and great access to facilities

Decent facilities, their process is delayed but apart from that it’s good

It's a really good university and the faculties are also amazing always ready to help and assist you. Do choose this university for your further studies.

Student's union is not existent. The running joke is that it's just something to list on your CV, they don't actually do anything. I couldn't tell you anything they did in the 20/21 period, that is the honest truth. The academic staff are honest, hard-working people (at least in the engineering department). They work hard, and provide a valuable and helpful service. The same can be said for the welfare staff (they do actually support you, and we love them for it). The admin staff are another story, they are rude and bloody frustrating. They seem to enjoy revoking access to random sites at random times, and then holding you for 15-20 minutes + for no discernable reason. If you attend Coventry (at least in engineering) you will love the professors, lectures etc. However, you will likely also considering beating the ****out of the admin staff (e.g. registry).

Good university, modern study area, a lot of green in the university.

Good place to study, highly recommend.

I love this uni. every staff is kind and provides high quality lesson.

Teaching and learning experience in Coventry University has made me realise how lucky I am to be a part of it.

University was good. Haven’t been able to explore much or have full access due to Covid 19

It's alright, due to covid it is difficult to review now

I guess the studies in pandemic period was pleasent experience for anyone, especially for students who had take loans to fund their studies . The university did no efforts to take that situation and students into consideration while the tuition fees was being collected. I believe I was not able to have a university experience that reflected the tuition fees that I had to pay. Rest everything regarding the courses and the quality of education I am satisfied

One of the best university for international students

This university chosen by my god and it is going good for me

Great experience overall. Very exciting to be able to engage with like minded peers.

Good experience with the univeristy with professional lecturers always willing to help when needed. Staff outside of curricular activities has also been very helpful.

The life at university is good. Environment is friendly and every volunteer at the hub is cooperative

Overall, a great university. Good facilities and staff are very friendly.

I am a physiotherapy student, I like the AG building very much, comfortable environment for Study Experienced lecturer, multi cultural learning atmosphere

Great university with great facilities!

It is a welcoming university with a lot of technical and personal support. It has beautiful facilities and the students are very friendly.

Really gud university strong recommend it

nice reception service good room environment

Open university, perfect courses for my ideal career

Everything is ok but maybe sometimes teachers can reply faster

My year in uni so far has been online so i cant say much about it

it is an amazing uni with great lecturers. you will love it here.

It’s an outstanding University! The lecturers are knowledgeable, kind, understanding and they respond to queries shockingly fast and passionately with clarity. The student support is awesome, every question I had and asked has been answered clearly, the people are great, the community is awesome, and the provision for student’s educationally and otherwise is outstanding.

Lovely accommodation. The rooms are comfortable and the place is quite close to everything. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an accommodation in Coventry

Great university environment, variety of clubs and societies available which is great for socialising.

The services were alright. As an international student, the international office really dropped the ball in many ways. I arrived in the country with no communication regarding how to proceed. I have mostly been in the dark due to the pandemic, which no one at the school knew how to handle. Most of the teachers were awful at responding to me. Basically, i could have just read a couple of textbooks and learned just as much. Was of money aside from the piece of paper at the end that says I got my Master's.

They have made the transition to online classes easy and have been very understanding of the covid-19 situation :)

Classmates are very sociable. Supervisors are happy to develop students with all they can give.

The university does have a lot of helpful facilities and before the pandemic it was a lot more easier to communicate with lectures or seek help/advice

Great university with excellent laboratories and academic staff.

Science building really modern and perfect for my degree

I spent really valuable time in Coventry and I enjoy it very much. The university was so responsible even during this COVID-19 difficult time.

Can’t say much about this as I haven’t been in due to Covid but from what I know it’s not as bad as some people make it out to be. Teachers are very friendly and helpful if you go out your way to ask for help and try from your side as well

Really good accomodation . Would def recommend

Its ok, they have really struggled with communication and stuff recentl6

I like the club been into basketball and the building overall is nice been enjoying being over there.

Great uni other than all the due rules due to covid

Great university and good value for money

Good general facilities such as the hub and the library. Can’t comment too much on courses as it’s subjective to each department, my experience with the Health and Life Sciences department has been fairly good. Although the graduate services don’t really offer too much in terms of graduate opportunities/placements, it all things you could easily find yourself.

Coventry university is a great place to learn and find job opportunities

People in the university are nice.

It’s lockdown what’s there to say

I’ve graduated from Coventry university and now I am studying towards my MA here too! I highly recommend choosing Coventry University. In my experience studying Interior Architecture and Design and now Interior Design, the lecturers and tutors are amazing and go above and beyond.

Coventry University is a great university with excellent facilities and amazing faculty staff

It’s my first time in Coventry and we’ve only course, so I don’t really know what to say but my teachers are really kind. We talk like if we were friends. I’m from Belgium and in Belgium you don’t talk like this to your teachers.

I have had the worst experience with the University- please if you are considering attending this University, consider somewhere else! I have studied at 2 other Universities and they truly put CU to shame. The staff at Coventry University are rude, unsympathetic and there is very little support. This being said, despite the staff who let the University down the lecturers are friendly and great in what they do. Avoid at all costs students unless you want problem after problem and no support.

I am satisfied with my choice, I met great people and I hope I will be able to meet them face to face again

I have enjoyed my time at Coventry University it has been a very good experience

Very nice university and helpful for future.

Lovely place for students. It is close to the city centre as well as being in a private area, meaning no disturbances. Rooms are lovely as well as other communal areas. Staff are very friendly, helpful, caring and very beautiful. Would recommend.

Good university and the student unions are good in sharing students voices and making sure most problems are heard .

as CU Coventry student I do confirm high standard provided and satisfaction. Campus is modern, cozy and you can possibly find everything you as a student might need or want. Quality of education really depends on which teacher you will have, but that is a matter or luck.

very disappointed with customer service. Registry is the worst team ever! never respond to queries. very bad experience. I wish I had never chose that uni

Looking forward to exploring more opportunities

I’ve enjoyed my experience so far and look forward to more opportunities.

Campus is nice and teachers will help

Specifically Auto & Transport Design. Used to be a great course with great tutors and regarded as one of the best. Now it's lost its prestige and tutors are just picked by who is retired or cheap. Always last minute with things like timetables, tutorial times or useful information for deadlines in general. In general you end up learning more from other students than the actual tutors. Saying that there's max 3 tutors that do their best and I wish they'd teach at a better university because this one doesn't deserve them. The industry is slowly losing interest in the university, purely because the quality of work is no longer to the standard. This makes finding placements/jobs hard but Clare helps amazingly. She's magic. In terms of facilities, they are useable. Good enough for the level of work and effort put into the course. Almost feels like the university forgot they had this course, as they were spending millions on a sports science and two engineering buildings.

modern and nice and helpful staff. I enjoyed my tiime living here and met some super cool people. students pubs around the campus were chill.

it's okay. careers service lacking ngl.

Study inn accommodation : Old, dark room, uncomfortable bed, sofa broken, worst desk chair ever, house keeping once 1 month, the fire alarm test every week scares me every time, tooooo many doors, otherwise staff are friendly.

great university, ranking depends on course but was great for mine

Coventry University is a great experience for me as international student. Every working person there helped to make the experience the best for international students.

Very nice and got a lot of sport and activities.

Many classrooms has no WiFi and signal, it’s so bad

the university is really good and staff are helpful

Supportive and excellent teaching staff. The students union arranges various extra curricular activities for students and also take measures to keep students mentallu fit.

University is fine with the system wish they can do more to help us when it comes to graduating and support during this time for looking for jobs

I used to check reviews online about cov uni before coming and i honestly don’t know why i didn’t believe how s*** of a school this is. They’ve basically left us alone during this coronavirus pandemic, lecturers never reply messages, the university isn’t helping in any way to make things easier for the students, anyone marks your coursework and gives ya rubbish grades (some people get marked high even when they don’t include some info and people get marked really low when they follow course work brief) worst part is you can’t even appeal your grades. Everything seemed okay at first, but this pandemic just showed how s*** the uni is. Btw you need to make sure your masters course is accredited cos a lot of them aren’t. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE

Good experience Helpful staff

The uni is such a sham and very "corporate" feeling with none of the glamour. Coventry is so boring as a city. I got so sick of students hired in TheHub who are often totally fed up and smarmy when it comes to their job. Also the students union just sits around and twiddles their thumbs all day.

fabulous, unless you're lgbtq, then you're not welcome

i have loved my experience at the Coventry university and cannot wait for another year

my time that the Coventry university has been an experience to remember and i cannot wait for another year!

Great student accommodation in city center, close to shops public transport and restaurants. Lovely, helpful staff. Amazing facilities-gym, study rooms room service. I would recommend it to anybody.

It's ok, student hub and library are nice

Unforgettable memories, I look forward to still having the opportunity to return to Coventry to see the city I have struggled with in the future.

Can't comment on other courses, but happy to recommend for engineering. Very good teaching, good facilities, very supportive staff. Students' union is useless, but some good societies.

I’ve had a great experience with my university so far! Everything is so close by, library has been refurbished and has an amazing science building!

Fantastic experience for my first year of university.

Coventry university is considered one of the top universities in the UK. Master's experience , before COVID-19, was lovely especially with the help of the professors and lecturers.

absolute worst dint enjoy my time at all

eh it's average. campus culture extremely soulless and corporate. students union kind of just... existed and the careers service got me nowhere as they had nothing available in our department most of the time. met some decent people at socs though.

The university is very good and is an upcoming student city, a very nice place to study

Pretty good, course is all in all helpful and engaging. Very good facilities (library, hub ect)

rip off university with professors that do the bare minimum. stay clear!

Ive really enjoyed my time at Coventry uni

Pitifully boring and dull just like Coventry itself.

modern but nothing much more than the costa and starbucks really going on in the buildings. quids inn is nice and the city has a couple of cool places like fargo. not much going on otherwise unless you hop on a train to birmingham.

awful just awful. the professors have no clue about organisation and are absent and difficult to get a hold of all the time, especially via email. we got stood up on 4 lessons by one of the lecturers. and everyone in the class just puts up with it and doesn't raise their voice. i feel like i'm stuck with sheeple haha. quids inn is nice though and the city has a couple of cool places. not much going on otherwise unless you hop on a train to birmingham.

ONE OF THE WORST UNIVERSITIES IN UK, all they are good at is marketing themselves to international students to make as much money as possible. They do not teach at all, campus in London is horrible in a rented space and teachers don't give af about students (except a few). All they care about is that you pay your fees on time. Teachers would enter the class and tell the students to "discuss within their own groups for assignments" which is highly unacceptable considering the amount they are charging. One of our teachers would just enter the class and sit and chat for 2 hours with students about their country and his own, other teachers would enter the class, open up a case study on the projector screen and tell you to solve it without even teaching about it. Another thing they care about is attendance, They won't teach but they expect you to show up every day just to sit around in class so it feels like a university. WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY.

Coventry university is an all round ok school. I enjoyed my course and met a few good friends.

This is a review on the coventry university global mba business course. (summary, dont bother) Honestly coventry university global mba business course is a joke and a scam!! You are better off going to other universities and perhaps paying a bit more for a real MBA course. The course is taught by phd students or lecturers that actually have no clue on practical things to do with their topics, it is simply academic theories and some more academic theories that would not make it past week 2 of an undergraduate program in a major university. They easily lure in international students, then just teach them basic academic theories which makes me question what they would teach undergrads if this is what is taught in an mba. If you have any idea on business, or have worked previously you will be extremely frustrated by the course content as you know none of it is applicable in real life. I thought I would save a few people on here of their £16000 so that they dont waste time and money

Decent. There needs to be more support in regards to postgraduate study. Some lecturers will never reply to your emails. Library is too small for the amount of people here, you euther leave at the crack of dawn or you wont get a seat. The staff at the information point in the hub are rude and have so much attitude when you ask a question. Lecture halls need a revamp and a new coat of paint.

The campus is undergoing major renovation so there is a lot of construction going on and the sound of it does interfere with lectures. Food is expensive, there are no disposable cups available to use on the water fountains and the toilets I've used have been filthy and smelly. Haven't joined any clubs as I'm there to learn, not pay for memberships to participate in activities an hour away from home. Wi-Fi is advertised, however it rarely works.

Awesome quality in everything the school has got going on.

I have good experience in school and student are really nice.

the campus is nice and the facilities are good

Great uni with lots of great facilities and a large library.

The Coventry University is very organized and helps students a lot. The campous is large and it has perfect location, near the Coventry City Centre.

Is a good Uni I can study what i’m passionate at so I am glad that I am here.

Brilliant uni Only in my first year but so far has been the best educational experience of my life

The facilities in the Health and Sciences building are excellent. However, there is very little support to get through the social aspect of University life. Adult bullying is rife among 18-25-year-old students, with peer-groups segregating and separating themselves, icing-out others, and by creating factions with a gang-like mentality. Some blatantly generating hostility and spreading salacious put-downs in order to better their own social standing and thus create a situation under their control. Group-work is tense and difficult because communication is broken down between peers over divided-loyalties. Teachers have very little power to stop this behaviour and in some cases, by being "down with the kids," are actively contributing to the bullying problem at Coventry University.

This university receives an unfair reputation that stems from Coventry City’s own reputation- but both are outdated and no longer apply. The university is modern and deserves much more recognition than it gets

•4 good lecturers left leaving us with TA in final year of Criminology. One taught us the module wrong so we didn’t know how to write the assignment. •Uni Private house was advertised 15 mins away from uni (walk). Was 45 minutes away. •Dissertation tutors didn’t respond to emails and weren’t helpful. •Some lecturers never responded to emails and apologised when were told they didn’t. Said they’ll respond straight away but never did. •Group work - 4 members, 2 left 3 days before the assignment was in. Was given a week extension to the the whole assignment on our own. •Personal Tutor left first year at Uni. Never knew who my new tutor was for the remaining 2 years. •Everyone complained on the end of module Reviews of how bad the course is. Had a body inspecting it. But the lectures were told they are being observed so they picked up the teaching game for that week and dropped it back to how it was when the inspection stopped. •Student rep was useless and unhelpful.

Coventry University is a university with fantastic academic facilities and resources, as well as outgoing staff. I have been made to feel so welcome here and had all the support I needed. The big issue is how the management treat staff, with low pay rates, impossible targets, and treating us students like a commodity. Plus the wifi is sort of bad so there’s that.

I absolutely love my time at Coventry university. It was a university I chose as my top choice but I'm so glad I'm here. I came to the university on a course that I didnt really want to do and within the first few days decided to change. The staff were fantastic. They helped me every step of the way, my old course made it so easy to leave and my new lectures were so welcoming and nice. The staff at this uni really are willing to move mountains for you. Or atleast in the Health and Life science department they are. The Alison gingell building is stunning, so good for learning. The uni is always having building work going on

The above facilities are very fine.

Great university, great staff for finding places and an app to locate lectures.

These aspects were good, but if you think they are collateral aspects, they should improve them.

........................................................

Fun place, very much a student town. Everyone is friendly and everything is close by.

Has anyone had recently completed the MSc International Event Management program?

Very poor University if you need any support. University will not recognise any of its own failings and puts all blame on student. Coventry University is not interested in its students- only interested in taking your money.

I like the campus at Coventry university.

I spent a year MSc programme. The university lecturers are helpful and supportive, but the course didn't well organised for my course. The library need to be expanded, it's too crowded, hard to find empty spaces to study, limited books. The central academics writing is nice and helpful.

Good university with the best library service.

Overall the university is good.

Nice campus, however there wasn't much to do in the city centre.

Appalling teaching. In the name of diversity and saving money one tutor teaching few different modules. Extremely poor English, on lectures barely can understand anything.Lectures read from slides, with lecturer not knowing what he is doing. You will not get any help, as at your tutorials you have the same lecturers from different subjects who give you A4 with answers for the end of the semester, because they do not know how to explain. Marking is the same as teaching. Prospects of getting a job tiny. You end up with a bit of a basics in Python, basics of C++, and a bit of a basics of Java, using Netbeans IDE. Waste of money!!!

everything you need and all close to each other

I have been here for four months and from my point of view, the buildings are outdated, there are many courses with overlapping content and 8 out of 10 times when using the printing machines, they were out of order. WiFi is very slow.

see previous comments 8::::::::::::::::::>

New buildings being opened but there is a large amount of students so finding seats in library can be difficult at certain times.

Everything good so far. Great help and opportunities available.

Teachers and facilities are really good

Pretty good institutions with its facilities and helpful lecturers

The university itself, is no help. They say they will help you with finance, however they don't. They say they will help if you have any issues with your health, but they don't. There is a lack of campus feeling, and campus itself. Whatever they have is VERY small, and the town itself lacks food places, and shops. The clubs/societies are the only good things about the university, even then there is only a few. STUDENTS UNION - no help at all. They don't really bother, and most of the time they don't even know what they are doing, the only time they will even bother is when they want you to vote for them. Careers Service - B*******. Literally, went to them for my CV several times, they didn't even know what they were doing, tried it myself and job several job offers. Internet/Wifi - bloody slow.

It is very difficult to put this into a short paragraph when it begins from my first day of uni, until my final year and final day of uni. For students looking to do fashion design at Coventry university, let me say DO NOT DO IT, you want to study fashion? try going abroad to parsons, or studying at Central Saint Martins, London college of fashion ORRR get an apprenticeship!!! DO NOT STUDY FASHION AT COVENTRY UNIVERSITY unless you want to fail or be miserable! THE TEACHERS are the worst I have ever seen! They show favouritism towards students, especially if those students are white, if you are black, Asian or even worse muslim, then I am so sorry, but this is not the place for you. It's full of white teachers who are racist, and hate BAME students. I have factual evidence of this, The course is not well structured at all, you do not receive any help, everything I have learnt, and other students have learn was all SELF TAUGHT. They can't be bothered to help you.

The University has good facilities

Pretty damn good. Plenty of societies, great fascilities and all round great uni.

Modern university with great facilities

Good uni. Only issue is keep increasing the number of students each year and there isn't enough facilities, especially in the library and CAW which is so difficult to get an appointment. Some teachers are willing to help you while some are not.

overall good, could have better societies

Fantastic,everything so close to each other and really friendly

Really good Uni 13th best in the nation
