PhD in People Knowledge and Transdisciplinarity Working

Coventry University

Coventry University attracts with it’s diverse community of students. It has great student support and union that remembers to keep track of everything that you do. The facilities are impeccable and the teaching experience is lovely.

I have been extremely grateful for - and satisfied with - my university experience at Coventry. On BSc Psychology, the vast majority of lecturers and staff are very likeable and easygoing, and will do the most they can to support you. I will actually miss them when I graduate! It is also clear that lecturers are very driven by psychology, particularly around their areas of interest, showing enthusiasm and engaging in some interesting discussions. As a disabled student (wheelchair user), my experience with the disability team has been subpar, being a bit dismissive or unreachable. However, my course team has completely made up for their failings and have gone above and beyond to make sure that I am adequately and supported and have everything I need - even when I didn’t necessarily have the courage to ask myself. Although I didn’t necessarily engage with the student union due to personal factors such as travel, health and so on, they do host a variety of great events on campus. There is a very wide range of societies and inclusion for all appears to be fantastic. Students have plenty of opportunities to work in collaboration with the student union flexibly around their studies, including both paid and unpaid roles. The course holds module evaluation questionnaires before the end of each semester for students to feedback about different aspects of the modules they have been working towards completing. When we return from breaks, the course team inform us of what sort of feedback they received and what they have done about it going forward, showing just how responsive the course team are.

The worse is the first day in the university was not that easy but I'm getting it by God grace is all pretty good being here with a new culture to experience.

The library is really good. I like how there are different areas for study needs eg. Silent area and group work. The hub is also really good as well with quite a few facilities!

The university has wonderful staff who are happy to help, and have systems set in place to ensure the student gets that help. The facilities are clean and a perfect environment to work in. The library has a large range of resources also offering a snacks and drinks to keep energy up when studying, furthermore the library is separated into three sections with different noise levels to ensure you can have silence if thats your preferred studying style. The librarians are also extremely helpful and offer their own classes to help with assignments like help with referencing.
