Coventry city is making some huge improvements. The addition of the new health and life science building has been a success with both scientists and healthcare courses. There is also an excellent standard of teaching and support from lecturers.

Student halls are rather expensive and include a lot of extra things that I did not need, lectures are fun and the buildings are easy to find, refreshers 2018 was not as exciting as the previous year and was kind of a let down with how little activities were going on. The society I joined is well organised and I enjoy the trips they sometimes organise to special events like comic con.

The Coventry university campus is well laid out, snaking it easy to find your building, as long as you’re on the main campus, if you’re not then it’s virtually imposssible to find your building without asking for help, especially as a fresher. The facilities at cov uni are constantly upgrading, with the new science building and renovations being done to other buildings, the equipment available does allow for a high knowledge standard. The student union and employability team are both reliable and are available through an email or at the offices at any point in the year. My personal experience of cov uni has been okay, as I am most definitely going to pass the course and have enjoyed my time here. However, feedback on assignments at times is useless and can not be used to help improve, such as just having “no” put next to a sentence. As well as this marking is supposed to have a 3 week window from when the work is submitted, but it can take up to 2/3 months to actually receive a grade. This makes it hard to know if you need to prep for resits. Finally, timetabling this year has been a mess, with groups being unscheduled for coursework labs and as a whole being told about lectures/workshops/labs on the day or even the day before because of issues that should have been fixed at the start of the year. Overall I’ve had a decent experience, but far more work needs to be done.

It’s pretty good, but could be better. The concrete jungle as it’s known, by the way it sounds is dull and interesting always new things to see. However coming here to study was the best choice as all courses are to a high standard

Although there is a fantastic new science and health building with great labs and an amazing gym, the other buildings are miserable. There are very few PCs around, even in the library. The lecture theatres are dull and uncomfortable. I haven't heard much from the student union nor been directed or told about career services. The organisation of my course is poor. Our assessment turn around is supposed to be 3 weeks and the soonest we've had an assingment back is 6 weeks and the longest was 12.

The uni, it’s location, buildings and facilities are living up to a 5 star review! As a international student I am surprised about how welcome the uni has made me feel. With every question I ask, they give me the best possible answer. Would recommend this University to everyone!

The campus was simply outstanding, not a single fault I could think about. I feel that the course was really hand tailored to suit my needs and the teaching was excellent.

Campus is nice, Hub is central very part of the city. The facilities are good for my course, the library is good. The course is well structured but needs improving with the addition of instrumental lessons. However the international field trips are good with help from uni for funding. The student union holds good events including freshers seek.

The faculty memebers are what make the university such a good place. They are always ready to help you with any problem and go to the extent to help you. The university itself is amazing, the buildings are modern and very easy to access. My course, is very well run by some of the most amazing tutors ever. I couldn’t be happier with my university.

Like it’s ok but the organisation is atrocious!! Lectures don’t seems to know what either they or us are doing a fair bit of the time. Seems to be a lack of communication. But I’ve heard the societies are fun. Should be able to see where my £9.25K is spent, but I don’t.

I am in my second year. First year halls were not value for money. They are expensive for low level living conditions. I have had issues with the university with unorganisation. I have also had lack of sympathy about my living conditions from the letting agency (uni lead). I am living in poor living circumstances where I have been at great risk and there was lack of sympathy because of money and contracts from both the agency and the university.

My course has been incredibly disorganised, taking months and months to receive grades after coursework submission. There was a new building recently built specifically for our faculty however we rarely use this and instead we’re in an old, claustrophobic building. Some lecturers lack ability to speak English. Lectures are spread across all 5 days of the week meaning we have to come in fir just 2 hours a day, usually sent home after an hour. This is annoying for someone who commutes, waste of time and parking money

University buildings are modern and well equiped. The campus is certainly a plus to the city center. The course is not always good organised, but the staff have a professional attitude.

Coventry University really cares about it's students, and provides the best facilities possible. Personally I believe the student union is not as great and interactive, but there is a good amount of societies to join and some of the socials can be loads of fun. Coventry also have a great careers service, they have people dedicated to helping you with placements, employment, part time jobs and internships. Overall a great University.

Uni management is pretty awful, always found it hard to talk to them properly about issues. Course is good, but the uni don’t seem to care much.

Campus is very modern, but cosy and comfortable. Facilities are great, Wi-Fi can be accessed anywhere. Library is 24/7, as are most buildings which is great.

Degree: Law So far, I’ve enjoyed all module leaders who have taught me. Some modules have been boring, but that was more down to the nature of the modules rather than the teaching
