We could tell you we've got state-of-the-art facilities, it's true, we do. But we'd rather show you. We’d love to meet you at an open day, however we understand that this often isn’t possible for international students, which is why we’ve launched our very own international virtual open day.

Coventry university review
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars

Honestly, the teaching is excellent. We have very qualified teachers who explain very well and who are always listening to their students. You can ask questions as many as you want and they will always try to help you

Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars

Due to restrictions, one interactive session per week wasn't nearly as satisfying as expected but media society membership and role of Senior course Rep kept me in high spirits but quality of face-to-face and online studies puts value of studies under threat. Additionally, pod system was utter dismay, but I hope next term will be better.

At the beginning I’ve faced a lot of issues but by time it vanished especially when I used to think about my life after the course and the achievement.
