Coventry University

Coventry, one of the Midland’s most historical cities, was completely destroyed during a single night’s bombing in WWII. Locals disapproved and rebuilt it almost as quickly...and you can tell. The inner city’s had a heck of a spring clean to try and compete with the beauty of nearby Leamington Spa and shed its 'Chaventry' image...more detail Coventry students – a large proportion from state schools – like to get their giggle on and party hard enough to rival their Brummy counterparts...more on the SU Although University entertainment isn’t cutting edge sophistication, watering-holes are cheap, cheerful and bustling. For what Coventry lacks, proximity to Birmingham means alternatives can be hunted down faster than it takes a WAG to sniff out Gucci...more on entertainment A high proportion of students are from the local area, many live at home, but availability in halls is good – most rooms are on campus although some are a bit further out...more on housing Academically, Design, Health and Technology are the big guns...more on academic A bundle of bursaries and scholarships are available for academic whizzkids and there are also awards for creativity, entrepreneurship, arts and sports...more on welfare
