The campus is located in a vibrant city with the individual university buildings offering many facilities - although they vary from what the building offers. For example, the Richard Crossman building predominantly holds health & life science related courses (including medical science, psychology and criminology) and so is geared towards those courses with facilities such as a mock prison, hospital, labs etc. Generally, each building has at least one cafes, study halls, socialising areas, libraries etc. Course wise, there is a wide variety which are taught in the traditional sense of lectures and seminars. However, a massive downside to the uni is the (sometimes) lack of support by teaching staff. More often than not, the staff will not be able to help you (or so they say) with questions or worries if they are asked online or via email. The response time is less than adequate. However, if asked in person then they tend to be more helpful. Regardless, the lack of support can be extremely disheartening and stressful and there will be a lot of student led bouncing around between lecturers and other university staff, such as health and well-being. The students union is great for gaining advice on this, though. Overall, make sure you read into your course and look for what it has to offer!

The current approach to teaching (blended) has been sufficient, but some lecturers do not record the live lectures which is extremely irritating to those who struggle to retain information or write fast. The PowerPoints they use can be bland and so establishing the context is a hassle. The seminars have been extremely helpful with many chances for engagement.

Coventry is a large city offering many social, educational and cultural facilities. The city prides itself on diversity and it effectively meets this. The campus is located in the centre of the city so it’s only a quick walk to reach most bars, clubs, restaurants and shops etc. However, as a woman, walking alone at night can be extremely daunting due to dim lighting and the behaviour of others, including male students.
