About the university

Why students choose Coventry University

A public research university whose roots run back to the Coventry School of Design in 1843. It became Lanchester Polytechnic in 1970, named after the engineer Frederick Lanchester, then Coventry Polytechnic in 1980 and a university in 1992. That engineering lineage still defines it, particularly in automotive and transport design.

Both direct entry and foundation or pathway routes are available here. If your grades or English score fall short of direct admission, the pathway route is a genuine alternative to waiting a year.

Tuition, entry requirements and intake dates differ by programme and change each year. Ask us for the current figures for the course you are considering rather than relying on published averages.
