Student Reviews for Coventry University

Student satisfaction:
4.1 (based on 736 student reviews)

“Coventry University has been a good experience for me as an international student,mainly thanks to the unique and passionate individuals I’ve been lucky enough to meet along the way.”

“My time studying for my Accounting degree here has been well-spent, as I’ve finally achieved my goal of becoming a chartered accountant.. I do think that the university still has a lot to improve if it wants to be more well-known and compete with the best academic institutes in the UK, but I think that’s the direction they’re going in the coming years.”

About Coventry University

PROS

  • Ranked among the top 150 in England by QS World University Rankings, and ranked at Gold standard by TEF.
  • Students agree that the facilities here are of a high standard, some of which include a Mock Operating Theatre and Hospital Ward, a Midwifery Suite, and Assisted Living Showcase Houses.
  • Athletes are particularly happy due to the physiotherapy and sport therapy teaching rooms, allowing for an advanced curriculum.

CONS

  • Students complain that the communication from the university’s side is quite poor, which is a problem when reorganising exam dates and similar issues.
  • Coventry doesn’t offer a lot to do in the area, according to students. For this reason many students prefer to stay on campus and make use of social areas.
