Located in the City of London, Coventry University London is serious about business. They are one of the largest providers of business-related degree courses in Europe. To make sure the students maintain a leading edge and get the best possible business experience, they launched Coventry University London in the heart of the financial district in 2010.

There achievements are a clear indication that the University is consistently delivering quality across a number of key areas, including student satisfaction, teaching and research quality, graduate job prospects, degree results achieved and more.

They are a forward-looking, modern university with a proud tradition as a provider of high quality education and a focus on applied research.
The students benefit from state-of-the-art equipment and facilities in all academic disciplines including health, design and engineering laboratories, performing arts studios and computing centres. They have been chosen to host three national Centres of Excellence in Teaching and Learning which has enabled us to invest substantial sums of money in health, design and mathematics.

The city-centre campus is continually developing and evolving, and we have plans for further investment in it over the next few years. They are a major presence in Coventry, which contributes to the city's friendly and vibrant atmosphere and also enables us to foster successful business partnerships.

Through links with leading edge businesses and organisations in the public and voluntary sectors, our students are able to access project and placement opportunities that enhance their employability on graduation.

Why?

All locations offer higher education qualifications, which are validated by Coventry University. This means all students graduate with a Coventry University award, wherever they choose to study. However, not all of our locations offer the same courses as the main Coventry University offering; Coventry University London offers bespoke programmes in finance, business, fashion and tourism providing first-class teaching, facilities and a London city student experience.

It now also boasts a dedicated postgraduate centre and financial suite (Cutlers Exchange).CU London, CU Scarborough and CU Coventry offer more vocationally based courses, with flexible learning options and no end of year exams, with the aim of providing a high-quality learning solution, while also allowing students to fit studying around their busy lifestyles.

In addition to this, they also offer lower tuition fees to other comparable institutes helping to make higher education affordable. Movement between our locations is possible, but are subject to a successful application. Each location operates separately, though application processes remain similar, available courses and entry criteria may differ. Please contact the location you are interested in for full details.

Accommodation for students is provided by the university and by private companies. Coventry owns four facilities: Priory Hall, Quadrant Hall, Singer Hall and 72a Margaret Road, as well as several houses around Coventry, mostly in the Earlsdon area. It also manages four facilities: Apollo House, Lynden House, Radford Road and Pillar Box, the latter being exclusively for postgraduate students.

Facilities provided through partnerships Coventry has with private companies, such as Unite, Liberty Living and Derwent Living, include Liberty Park (shared with the University of Warwick), Trinity Point, Paradise Place, Sherbourne House, Callie Court and Raglan House.

New accommodation facilities shared with the University of Warwick down the city’s Trinity Street and Market Way opened in autumn 2010, with two more along Corporation Street and Greyfriars Lane opening the following year. Further plans to expand accommodation for Coventry students in the city centre was announced in April 2013 with the expected conversion of the former Hotel Leofric into student flats. In total, the university’s accommodation can provide for 3,579 students.
