University Profile
Founded by entrepreneurs and industrialists as the Coventry School of Design in 1843, Coventry University Group is a dynamic and outward-looking collection of institutions with a tradition of teaching excellence, impactful research and bold international initiatives and partnerships. In recent years Coventry’s student satisfaction levels and teaching quality have been rated amongst the best in the UK, which has contributed to impressive rises in every major university league table and a gold rating in the UK government’s Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF).
Central to this success has been the group’s bold approach to higher education developments, including new campuses in Scarborough and London. Coventry ranks 13th and as the country’s top modern university in the Guardian University Guide 2019, and is top in the UK – and third in Europe – for how well it engages with its students according to the Times Higher Education (THE) Europe Teaching Rankings 2018. It also earned the title ‘University of the Year for Student Experience’ in the 2019 Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide.
