Coventry University is a public research university in Coventry, England. The origins of Coventry University can be linked to the founding of the Coventry School of Design in 1843. It was known as Lanchester Polytechnic from 1970 until 1987, and then as Coventry Polytechnic until the Further and Higher Education Act 1992 afforded its university status.

Coventry is the larger of the two universities in the city, the other being the University of Warwick. It is the UK's fastest growing university and the country's fourth largest overall.[7] It has two principal campuses: one in the centre of Coventry where the majority of its operations are located, and one in Central London which focuses on business and management courses. Coventry also governs their other higher education institutions CU Coventry, CU Scarborough and CU London, all of which market themselves as an "alternative to mainstream higher education".[8] Its four colleges, which are made up of schools and departments, run around 300 undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Across the university there are 11 research centres which specialise in different fields, from agroecology and peace studies to future of transport.

The annual income of the institution for 2022–23 was £480.6 million of which £17.5 million was from research grants and contracts, with an expenditure of £483.4 million. The university holds an overall Gold rating in the 2023 Teaching Excellence Framework. Coventry is a member of the University Alliance mission group.

History

[edit]
Coventry Municipal Art School Prospectus for the academic year 1927–1928

The origins of Coventry University can be traced back to the founding of the Coventry School of Design in 1843. Later renamed the Coventry School of Art, it was again renamed in the early 20th century to the Municipal Art School as part of the Education Act 1902. One final name change took place in the 1950s, when it became known as the College of Art.[9]

In the late 1950s, to address the need for a high level of technical training which the existing Coventry Technical College (now City College Coventry) could not meet, the construction of a new institution began. Opened in 1961, it was called the Lanchester College of Technology, named after the car engineer Frederick Lanchester.[9]

In 1970, the Lanchester College of Technology and the College of Art, along with the Rugby College of Engineering Technology in the neighbouring town of Rugby, amalgamated to form Lanchester Polytechnic.[10] The institution was designated as such in February 1971 by then Education Secretary Margaret Thatcher.[11] The name Lanchester gave the institution a certain degree of obscurity (it was often confused with both Lancaster and Manchester), notably when none of the contestants on the BBC Radio 4 general knowledge show Brain of Britain could give its correct location.[12] The polytechnic cancelled its graduation ceremony in 1974 following the Birmingham pub bombings in fear that public gatherings could be targeted; the ceremony was eventually held in 2009, 35 years later.[13] Lanchester Polytechnic was renamed "Coventry Polytechnic" in 1987, and when the Further and Higher Education Act 1992 afforded Coventry Polytechnic university status that year, the name was changed to Coventry University.

In 2010, a campus in London was established to further attract international students to the university.[14] In 2012 "Coventry University College" was set up within the main university campus, offering qualifications up to degree-level at a lower cost compared to typical university fees.[15]

As of 2017 Coventry is the highest-ranked modern university in the UK in both the Guardian University Guide[16] – in which it ranks 12th overall – and the Complete University Guide.[17] It also places in the top 200 in the Times Higher Education Young University Rankings 2017,[18] which ranks universities around the world that are aged 50 years or under.

In July 2017, the university announced Margaret Casely-Hayford as its new chancellor, replacing Sir John Egan.[19][20]

The campus in Coventry is undergoing a £430 million investment programme for the period up to 2022,[21] with a new £37 million science and health building and £73 million student accommodation complex – opened in 2017 and 2018 respectively – central to the development scheme.

In September 2019, Coventry purchased the 22-acre farm Ryton Organic Gardens from the charity Garden Organic, who remains on site as a tenant along with the Heritage Seed Library and a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) scheme '5-Acre CSA' sitting alongside the university's own Centre for Agroecology, Water and Resilience.[22][23]

Campus

[edit]

Coventry campus

[edit]
The Frederick Lanchester Building, the university library (also known as the "Lanchester Library")

Coventry currently occupies a purpose-built 33-acre (13 ha) campus in Coventry City Centre adjacent to Coventry Cathedral and the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum. It occupies a mix of new purpose-built buildings, converted structures, and those inherited from its predecessor institutions.[24]

The centrepiece of the campus is The Hub[25] which opened in August 2011. The Hub is the home of the Coventry University Students’ Union, student support services, a bar/nightclub, a food hall and food outlets which are catered by Sodexo[26] In September 2012, a new £55 million engineering building was opened, with facilities such as a full-scale Harrier jump jet, a wind tunnel and flight simulators.[27][28] The Hub was awarded a BREEAM 'excellent' rating and between them The Hub and the engineering building feature sustainable initiatives such as grey-water harvesting, a biomass boiler and a green roof.[29][30] The opening of the buildings marks the first stage of a £160 million redevelopment plan of the campus phased over 15 years.[31]

Coventry's £20 million library opened in 2000 and is on the outskirts of the campus. It was officially opened by Princess Anne in September 2001 and contains over 2,000 print periodicals, 350,000 monographs, and more than 6,000 video tapes, audio tapes and films.[32] The library has a distinctive turreted exterior and has won awards for its interior design which features a light distribution system to make the most of natural light throughout the building.[33]

There are two converted buildings on the campus. A former car engine factory built in 1910 located next to the university's library now houses the Coventry Business School, and a cinema built in 1880 on Jordan Well is currently home to the School of Media and Performing Arts, now part of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, and formerly part of the Coventry School of Art and Design.[34]

To the south of the main campus is the 20-acre (8.1 ha) Coventry University Technology Park, a business park owned by Coventry University Enterprises Limited, a commercial subsidiary of the university, and through which several of the university's commercial subsidiary operations provide business services to local and national organisations. Tenants of the park are small businesses which receive support from the university and are allowed access to the university's library.[35] The park is also home to conference facilities at the TechnoCentre building, the Coventry and Warwickshire New Technology Institute, which works with companies to address skills shortages in ICT and advanced technology,[citation needed] and a digital lab for serious game and other technology development.[36]

Coventry has adopted a policy of naming its buildings after people or organisations with a significant local or regional impact. These include former Coventry-based automotive company Armstrong Siddeley; Shakespearean actress Ellen Terry; Coventry-based automotive pioneer Frederick Lanchester; Victorian novelist, critic and poet George Eliot; the father of the bicycle industry James Starley (building demolished in early 2020); former MP for Coventry East and political journalist Richard Crossman; artist Graham Sutherland; and founder of the Morris Motors automotive manufacturer William Morris.[34]

The Faculty of Engineering, Environment & Computing has a former RAF Harrier T.4 aircraft, tail number XW270, used as a teaching aid.[37]

CU Coventry

[edit]

CU Coventry was established on campus in 2012 and is an offshoot of Coventry University, providing full-time and part-time professional courses such as accounting, legal studies and marketing. CU Coventry is independent from the university with its own staff and facilities, though its programmes are validated and awarded by the university.[39] Courses offered are flexible, meaning that tuition fees at the institution are often lower than the maximum £16,000 universities in the UK can charge for full-time courses.[40] The part-time nature of many of the courses delivered means classes can run at atypical times, such as evenings and weekends.[15][41]

CU London

[edit]

CU London was established as a new campus in 2017, offering a range of full-time and part-time courses in Dagenham, East London. Located in the former Dagenham Civic Centre, the campus focuses on "high quality, low-cost, career-focused" education, which is flexibly structured to fit around students’ lives.[42] CU London has offered over £95,000 in bursaries and scholarships to local students and schools in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham to make higher education more accessible.[43]

From November 2020, CU London also operates from a new campus at 6 Mitre Passage, on the Greenwich Peninsula. This was set up to cater to students of the former Greenwich School of Management, following its closure, as well as to new enrolments.[44]

CU Scarborough

[edit]

The university opened a new facility, CU Scarborough, in Scarborough, North Yorkshire in 2016, as part of a new £45 million development, in the Weaponess area of the town. The university contributed £12 million towards the project. Courses include Law, Science & Engineering. The site also incorporates a new sports and leisure village and University Technical College (UTC), for 14–18-year-olds.

Coventry University London

[edit]

Coventry University's London campus was opened in 2010 as part of a trend seen by a number of different British universities, where a campus in London was set up with a predominately international student body to build the universities' international reputation.[14] The campus operates out of University House, 109–117 Middlesex Street in the City of London, almost 100 miles southeast of Coventry.

Coventry University Wrocław

[edit]

Coventry University Wrocław is a campus opened in September 2020, offering courses taught in English, including IT, cybersecurity, business, and aviation management with more courses to follow in 2023.[45] The university plans to accept 160 students in the first year. It is the first foreign university in Poland and will offer student exchange programs with Coventry University UK campuses.[46]

Structure and organisation

[edit]

Governance

[edit]

Coventry University is headed formally by the Chancellor, a largely ceremonial role, currently Margaret Casely-Hayford. The Chancellor is supported by six Pro-Chancellors and is appointed by the university's Board of Governors.[20] Terms for the Chancellor and Pro-Chancellors are five years in length; the number of terms a Chancellor can serve is unrestricted while Pro-Chancellors are limited to two.[20] The university is led on a day-to-day basis by the Vice-Chancellor, who is supported by four Deputy Vice-Chancellors and three Pro Vice-Chancellors.[47] The position of Vice-Chancellor has been occupied, currently, by John Latham since March 2014.[2]

Coventry is a member of the University Alliance mission group,[48] of which Latham is a former chair.[49]

Colleges and schools

[edit]

Coventry is divided into three colleges, each divided into different schools, and 1 independent school. [50] In 2023, Coventry University de-established the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, whilst reorganising the remaining 3 faculties into Colleges

Finances

[edit]

In the financial year ended 31 July 2013, Coventry University had a total income of £220.43 million and a total expenditure of £199.71 million.[51] Key sources of income included £136.53 million from tuition fees and contracts, £45.18 million from funding body grants, £8.82 million in research grants and contracts, £1.96 million from investment and endowment income, and £27.92 million from other income.[51]

Coventry University is an exempt charity under the Charities Act 1960. Commercial activities are undertaken by six subsidiaries wholly owned by the university. These subsidiaries are together known as the Coventry University Group, and deliver education, business support, partnership and consultancy, and serious game development to local and national organisations.[51][52]

Academic profile

[edit]
The Graham Sutherland building was built in 1959 and was used by the university's School of Art and Design. It has been replaced with the Delia Derbyshire building.

Coventry offers more than 130 undergraduate degrees and 100 postgraduate degrees over its four faculties, as well as qualifications such as foundation degrees and Higher National Diplomas (HNDs). It has introduced the teaching of disaster management at undergraduate level (the first such course in the UK)[53] as well as parapsychology[54] and health journalism[55] at the postgraduate level.

The university's student body in 2022/23 consisted of 38,430 students: 31,645 undergraduates and 6,785 postgraduates.[4] Part-time students in 2013–14 made up 15% of undergraduates and 39% of postgraduates.[56] The drop-out rate for first year undergraduates is 8.9% and the undergraduate intake from state schools is 97%.[57] The university employs over 1,800 academic staff and is the fourth largest employer in Coventry.[58]

Tuition fees for undergraduate students at the university are variable and range from £7,500 to £9,000 depending on the degree programme, following the United Kingdom government's decision in 2010 to raise the maximum limit universities can charge UK and EU students.[59] The university cited the variable fee structure in explaining the rise in applications received for 2012 compared to the previous year, despite an overall national fall.[60]

Research

[edit]

The Research Assessment Exercise 2008 classed that research conducted by the university in the subjects ‘Allied Health Professions and Studies’, ‘Computer Science and Informatics’, ‘Electrical and Electronic Engineering’, ‘Library and Information Management’, ‘Politics and International Studies’, ‘Social Work and Social Policy & Administration’, and ‘Art and Design’ contained elements of 'world-leading' research.[61]
