What I would highlight:
Enjoyable, but many issues that makes the experience definitely not best value for money. Lectures don't meet my expectations. I don't feel like all the lectures provide good enough support or teach to a good enough standard. Class sizes are too large with too many students not interested in learning and disrupting the learning of others. I do enjoy the challenges and independence uni life brings.Good wide range of activities. Not always the best to correspond with. They don't always take the time to read emails and answer issues. Some academics are brilliant but they are few and far between. Many will not respond to queries and are mostly unhelpful. They don't treat you in a manner which makes you feel like you're two adults conversing.

What I would highlight:
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 I would highlight:
So far it has been well worth it. Coventry University is definitely underrated and deserves the credit it is due with its rapid improvement over the years. I believe it may be worthy of a Russell Group status. The careers department is amazing, they guided me through the ideal steps I should take to ensure that I reach my chosen career path. Recently, they have paid for an event and paid 90% of the cost per ticket so that the students can develop leadership skills from a professional. The lecturers are well engaged and enthusiastic about their chosen areas and are always willing to help.The student union has a variety of events and opportunities for students which are so useful. For example, they bring awareness by dedicating weeks or months to Black History Month, Go Green, Volunteering opportunities etc. There are many volunteering opportunities for student to get involved with such as food banks.

What I would highlight:
Overall a very good experience. Apart from that I have enjoyed my experience as a very, very mature student. Support is great feedback has been detailed but often late which has an impact on future work. Support is always there if needed. There are support sessions for mathematics, writing, and computing. It's up to you whether you have the courage to make use of the support offered. The university has various volunteering projects that contribute to the local community. They also have various summer research positions which work on improving human welfare in some way.

What I would highlight:
My first year at Covernty University has been intense yet very satisfying, the university is catered to getting employed. I know my next two years will be significantly more difficult but I'm ready for the challenge. Coventry University focuses on improving transferable skills and your own ability to work under pressure, the university is in close contact to business like Jaguar Land Rover, and prioritises employability in there courses. The hands on approach the course has to practical labs investigations. I would highly recommend this University.

I have greatly enjoyed my experiene at Coventry and I highly recommend it! My love for science has increased due to the passionate lecturers and seminars put in place for us. The Student Union and societies have given a pleasant welcoming and great social life. Overall, the university has helped myself grow as a person and i still believe there so much more waiting for me. What’s the best thing about your course and teachers? They're very enthusiastic towards what they are teaching and most are usually willing to help you when asked. Loved it.

What I would highlight:
The University offers a lot of support with regards to how to write CV's, interview help, especially with regards to what you want to do after uni as well. It has been one of the best experiences i have had. I have made so many new friends and I have unforgettable memories. I have done things I wouldn't have been able to do before such as dance, take extremely cheap trips to other countries such as China. It has opened my eyes to a lot the world has to offer. The always broadcast work opportunities be it placement, work experience or even volunteering. I would recommend it with no hesitation.

Jessie
What I would highlight:
University has been interesting so far and has given me some opportunities to come out of my comfort zone to try new things. I have encountered staff members who are the most helpful people, who would go out of their way to help with an issue but also those not as helpful as others. They have excellent facilities in most places, for instance the photocopy machines can be found in every building and can be used by students as well. This is pretty useful as the lecturers give you so many reading and handouts to work with. I would recommend Coventry to anyone interested in gaining a good HE diploma.

Zuzanna
What I would highlight:
Business school offers CPD (Continuing Professional Development) modules with workshops about CV writing, interviews preparation, communication and presentation skills and many more. Moreover, there are employment fairs on campus few times per year. CU also has nice and friendly career staff that helps with CV writing and job seeking. What is more, there is Centre for Global Engagement which helps with placements and becoming global graduates. Teachers are really kind and supportive, they respond to emails very promptly and are always willing to explain things more than once. Schedule is good as one day of the week is always free. CU has a really nice library that it's open 24/7. Also Engineering Building and William Morris Building have nice rooms and the stuff working there is friendly. The Hub is a great place as well. All buildings are really close, which makes it easy to get around.

Trevor Akumu
What I would highlight:
It's been so good so far, I have a have learned so much and grown as a person. All the facilities at Coventry University are excellent and up to the requirements of modern educational system. As an international student I never thought I would find it the transition easy but I've grown to love my course and have a passion for my future. There are employment fairs quite often and for law specifically we have a third module each semester that tends to focus on transferable skills. Each faculty has an employment tutor as I've gathered. Lectures are very helpful and friendly providing guidance and assistance whenever needed or requested. The students union is pretty alright and takes steps to always keep us informed and interested in activities taking place around the university. The University’s facilities are at quite a very good standard.

Rupali Limachya
What I would highlight:
My experience at Coventry has been great. The other students who are also there, are very friendly, especially on the course.There are certain modules in the first year which help with employability skills like working in a team and research, which is asked for in many psychology jobs. We also get many emails with adverts within the university and out of the city, encouraging us to get active.The best thing is that Psychology links both science and philosophy to explain certain aspects and therefore coming to a conclusion which is accepted by many. The lecturers make topics interesting and always applying practical applications to these topics. The tutors are always there when we need to speak to them or need help with anything. The feedback we receive is also very detailed and it helps us to plan our essays for our next assignments in an attempt to do better.

Architecture BSc (Hons)
Annabel Linch
What I would highlight:
So far experience has been mixed. the most important thing to me is the course and this has been good to a point. Most of the modules are engaging and teach a variety of skills and the majority of the tutors are helpful and have great amounts of knowledge of the industry. however there hes been some disappointments. The course currently does not offer training in software, which is a critical skill in order to get a job in practice. The tutors are aware of this but the current expectation is to teach this to ourselves. The university also has failed to fulfill is promise in the 'no hidden extras' promise advertised when I joined the university as this year we are expected to make a significant contribution towards our compulsory trip which last year was virtually free. There was also a reduction in the quality and volume of equipment provided this year in comparison to previous years. So far there has been no explanation provided for this change and has left me and fellow students disappointed that we have been mislead. We are also unhappy about how the university does not include students in major decisions . The biggest being the courses move from the engineering faculty to the arts and humanities without warning just before the course started. The first we heard of it was the day we arrived! This was a move that resulted in our course becoming neglected and isolated from key facilities such as computer suits. We are also isolated geographically as our studio/ lecture space is still in an engineering building.

The University of Coventry is amazing, excellent staff and lots of opportunities to take part in societies and events. The locations are quite spaced out are can be difficult to find at first however. The library is very large and the Hub is always full of life. Everything is amazing! Everything I need is here and a lot of opportunities! I would highly recommend it!

Param Kukadia
What I would highlight:
Quite satisfied with my university, better than my expectations. I would recommend this university to anyone if they want to live a more of a peaceful life in a city. The best thing about my course is that it will not only enhance my business theory knowledge but along with that it will also develop my soft skills and helps me to knwo what companies are looking for in the employees. Our student union is by far the best, they organise fairs and other fun activities which would involve interaction helping international students to settle well in the university.

What I would highlight:
Overall the university has been great. There have been a few blips along the way but my faculty has always helped me out. Lecturers are incredibly knowledgeable about the industry and are very helpful. They course is laid out in a great way and all builds into a final project. Finally the university also set up volunteer schemes where I was able to go out of town for free and help out in an elderly home. This worked well as research for my dissertation and gave my CV a bit more edge. The students union was excellent. A great place to go to study and meet friends plus a great selection of films shown there and food to buy.

International Business MBA
Marwan Solomon
What I would highlight:
Overall a very good experience. The networking aspect of it is a xcellent. I have met lots of potential business partners for the future. Plus the exposure the university makes available to the students in terms of business networking events. Employment fairs, career days. Seminars and lectures on how to develop skills, resume and interview training. Guest speakers of multinational companies. Societies that assist in making your hobby benefit your development. They are enthusiastic, and always eager to help. They dedicate the extra time to make sure you understand the topic. The module is very relevant to the real world. Prepares students for functioning in a real company. I would say that they are good. Some lecturers are more accommodating that other, however they are all friendly and helpful.
