BSc (Hons) in Biomedical Science / Applied Biomedical Science - Batch of 2026

Offered by Coventry University

4.5

A brutally honest and good review about my uni.

Tips: The staff members here are super helpful and friendly. To ask for support, "Help is given to those who ask for it". It is also very good at offering scholarships, and giving membership for sports and societies. Worth joining. Support is given, you can book meetings with your lecturers at their availability, etc.

Likes (Public transportation): Easy to access public transport, because I've experienced this before. Travelled by train, bus and cycle. You can purchase train and bus fares online and gain an e-ticket or real life ticket to use on public transport. If you live close by, you can easily walk to the campus or cycle there, which reduces the cost of travelling by public transport.

Dislikes (Internships): Not many opportunities, but to gain, it should be asked for. Although I have tried to ask for opportunities from outside of the university, it hasn't paid off, due to high competition for positions. Although it is worth trying, as it will give you loads of experience and opportunities to try.

Business Analytics MSc - Batch of 2026

Offered by Coventry University

3.9

Quite a promising university.

Tips: The campus here is very welcoming and very student oriented, so that's a plus point to studying here. The coursework is a lot and it is easy for it to pile up if you're not organised and prepared from the start. Plenty of accommodation available and the cost of living is much better than cities like London. Nice quiet city and university.

BSc (Hons) in Computer Science - Batch of 2024

Offered by Coventry University

3.3

A valuable learning experience with unique challenges for international students.

Tips: The transition was generally smooth, although adapting to the academic structure and British culture took some time. The university does offer support when asked. I received the Phoenix Scholarship, which covers one year of accommodation within the student accommodation. To qualify you just need to pay 50% of the first-year fee before August for September intake. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.

Likes (Indian Food): I live in Coventry City Centre, which is within a 2-mile radius of the university. There are lots of restaurants to choose from, and many of them are inexpensive. South Asian food is especially popular, and it's easy to find a restaurant that serves it. I prefer to cook for myself, but I do go out to eat with friends at least twice a week.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): Currently, there are no jobs, and recently the government changed some policies that affected the companies to take international students for work, as we will have 2 years of post-study work visa the employers always need at least 4 years of visa for the student to be selected.

Master of Business Administration (MBA) - Batch of 2025

Offered by Coventry University

3.8

An MBA that broadened my perspective.

Tips: Students should know that the environment is strict, with a very strong focus on independent study and practical application. The teaching method was discussion-based rather than lecture-heavy.

Likes (Student Life): My experience was very nice. The environment provided a good balance between academics and personal growth; I always felt supported and engaged. A day used to include lecture group discussion and networking with fellow peers. There were regular academic workshops, cultural events, guest lectures, career fair and networking meetups.

Dislikes (Internships): For me, the internship was not satisfactory and the process is heavily dependent on their own network rather than receiving institutional support. Also, there is very much limited guidance. But there are general resources available for personalised support and mentorship.

BA (Hons) International Business Top-Up - Batch of 2026

Offered by Coventry University

3.7

Good learning environment.

Tips: There is a lot of competition both in and out of campus for academics and work opportunities, but navigating through this is a part of the process. The city is very student friendly and the staff have been helpful whenever I've needed assistance. Everything is accessible and there is a lot of Indian representation. There are good placements as well.
