International Business Studies degrees in Coventry

The facilities and lecturers help ensure that you aim to get the best possible outcome for what you attempt to study however some of the campus feels slightly outdated with the way some of the rooms are laid out and can be improved.

The University of Warwick is in a great location, to start with, and public transport is fantastic. It is easy to get to both Coventry and Leamington whether that be for social experiences, accommodation or travel. It is also a nice looking and well maintained campus, constantly being taken care of, with things such as beautiful flower plantings in the Spring. Many of the buildings are a bit ugly and rather outdated, but there are some nice ones too such as the Faculty of Arts building and the Oculus. There are lots of places to eat on campus too and most are fairly reasonably priced. There is also lots of space to study and it is fantastic how three floors of the library are dedicated to quiet study which I really appreciate. The gym facilities are also really good, especially after having been updated as of this summer just gone. The campus accommodation is also fantastic and I really enjoyed living there in my first year. Student support from seminar tutors and personal tutors is also fantastic. I think that my one biggest complaint would probably be the SU. From my understanding as a member of the a sports Exec team, many SU processes seem overcomplicated and take needlessly long amounts of time to carry out. For example, we as a club take out a monthly subscription to Canva for marketing purposes. By the time the SU has approved each month's payment, the next month's payment is already due, which seems to us as a club to be a ridiculously long time. To go back to sport more broadly the SU also fails to recognise all sports teams. My club is a big club with about 70 members yet does not get additional funding than the bare minimum 50+ members fee simply because it does not compete in BUCS tournaments. To my knowledge non-BUCS sports (including mine) receive no tournament fee support, resulting in far more expensive fees than the low-to-no cost experience by BUCS teams, despite the fact that we compete and represent the University at a significant national level. Nonetheless Warwick is a fantastic uni I really enjoy being at - the SU and its relationship with sport could just definitely do with some work.
