  • My experience at Coventry has been great. I think this is a very interesting university, fully modernised teaching methods and approach, 24x7 full equipped library, access to all major computing softwares. The tutors encourage us to contact them, regular meeting for groups and individuals are set up to check on our progress and to allow us to provide feedback on any changes to the course we may prefer. However any support required with technical faults, such as with moodle or emails, can take longer to resolve as the tech team are slow at replying to your issues and concerns. It's more likely to be sorted if you approach specific personel with your problem as emails are often pushed to one side.

  • This has been the best educational experience, I want to thank the staff, I think they are the nicer people on planet earth! During the time I spent here I have learned a lot because the centre seems to have everything under control. A good experience.

  • Coventry University is excellent with great facilities, staff and work. The city itself is small with the outskirts being quite rough but the university is in the nicest area with clean safe streets. many of the modules are directly involved in improving your technical skills and giving you a wide range of ability's. The University provides job fairs with major companies so that you can interact with potential employers. There is a large amount of support for internship placements and also post graduate jobs for the students. Lecturers are all very high-skilled, they cover a broad range of topics in first year before becoming more specific to your area of interest by third year. Many of of my lectures were on theory but there are modules that have lots of practical work interspersed within the lectures.

WHAT WILL I LEARN?

In the first two years you will study subjects that have been designed to broaden your perspective of automotive engineering. As you enter year three you will define your individual study plan, selecting from a range of options to complement your core subjects.

Your main themes of study will be:

Design: the innovative resolution of design problems focused on commercially viable solutions.

Analysis: you will learn to use industry standard software to model, analyse and validate vehicle behaviour, components and systems.

Management: the application of principles and practices utilised to assure effective business operation.

Sustainability: an ethical approach to work by protecting the best interests of life and the environment.

Practical: investigation and analysis using laboratory, workshop and computer-based techniques.

HOW WILL THIS COURSE BE TAUGHT?

Our courses are based on a series of one or two hour lectures, with associated practice, laboratory, workshop exercises, and tutorials. Our innovative ‘Activity Led Learning’ approach has received national and international acclaim.

You will work with staff on real-world problems from industry, commerce and research groups, as you would in professional practice; this means that you can develop all of the professional skills at the same time as you learn the technical content of your degree.
