MSc Psychology - Batch of 2025

The lovely experience of being part of something bigger

Tips: Coventry University has a strong practice-oriented psychology program, but it’s worth knowing upfront that independent study forms a big part of the workload. Lectures are only part of the picture, you’re expected to read and research well beyond class hours. Budgeting for living costs in the UK is also worth planning for early, since tuition is only part of the expense. The adjustment always takes time when transitioning, for me, I expected the cultural shift, and even after expecting it, there were still so many things I didn’t expect. Though over time the shift became more manageable, I found the environment supportive for building both academic and personal independence. I didn’t receive my scholarships for my course, though I am sure there are scholarships available for different courses. Overall, I am very satisfied with my experience. The MSc in psychology gave me a solid academic foundation and a BPS membership, which has been valuable.

MSc in Project Management - Batch of 2025

1.8

Not worth for the fees we play

Tips: There is no practical experience gained from this course where you can come out as a right fit for the job. They could have trained the students for PRINCE2 and made them aware in a pragmatic way. Also, the number of students per class is so heavy that individual attention won't be received.

Likes (Public transportation): I studied on the London campus, which was near to one of the main train stations and bus stops. You will also easily get accommodation and part-time jobs nearby. You can get access to buses and trains to many areas easily; also, it is almost in the central London.

Dislikes (Student Life): First of all, the course is not worth the money we pay. There are no proper programs to upskill the students, and no direction towards getting certified or any hands-on experience was provided by the college. They could have easily done for the huge price we pay.

BSc (Hons) in International Business Management - Batch of 2025

3.9

The university is joyful, fun and diverse

Tips: Students can check for scholarships; there are many scholarships listed on their website. I am satisfied with the practical teaching from the university professors. Your mental health is the top priority for the university. We had free bus transportation to the university campus through some bus stops.

Likes (Indian Food): The university is known to host a large Asian population; hence, Indian food and flavor are easily accessible, although they are a bit expensive, and there are many types of cuisine available. You also get a lot of multicultural cuisines around the city. It feels like home away from home. Just don't worry about food.

Dislikes (Internships): For international students, it's very hard to find internship options. There are students who come with a placement year. This might help them to find internship opportunities since there is an additional year to help them find internships. For sustainability, though job opportunities are more, again, finding placements is a tough job, like in any other field.

Master of Business Administration (MBA) - Batch of 2025

4.2

Calm and full paced life with money and study.

Tips: If your previous academics are good, then you’ll get a scholarship from Coventry. I was very satisfied with my college, but the country is not that safe for Indians anymore. The university was very welcoming and supportive for the international students as well. Mostly Indians, but still a good one. But there are better options than Coventry, to be honest.

Likes (Public transportation): The transportation by bus and train is very convenient. It is very close to the university. You can go by the Metropolitan line or can go by bus as well. For the Metropolitan line, you need to pay £4.20 per day. And by bus, you need to pay 1.5£ per trip, which goes to 3£ per day.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): If you go for just a 1-year course, then you will not have any post-study jobs or any campus placements. For that you need to apply for a 3-year course, which includes 1 year of internship and 6 months of placement chances. Job roles are generally in international marketing or in import/exports. You generally get the base salary, which is up to 36000/- annum.

MBA Global Healthcare Management and Leadership - Batch of 2026

A Supportive and Academically Enriching University Experience

Tips: If you’re actually planning on coming here, honestly, you've got to be pretty disciplined with your time. It’s not the kind of place where people hold your hand—you're expected to figure a lot out on your own, and the workload definitely catches up with you if you aren't careful. You can't just sit in the back of the room either; you’ve actually got to speak up in seminars and get involved in the group projects if you want to do well. On the plus side, the scholarship situation is worth looking into. I managed to land one by applying through the uni portal—it was mostly based on my grades and some paperwork—but it definitely took a chunk off my tuition, which was a huge relief.
