Coventry University
Coventry University is a forward-looking, modern University with a proud tradition as a provider of high quality education and a focus for multidisciplinary research. It is an established academic presence regionally, nationally and internationally, and takes great care in providing a supportive environment for its students. Under the terms of the Further and Higher Education Act of 1992, it changed its name from Coventry Polytechnic to Coventry University, but its roots can be traced as far back as 1843 to the Coventry College of Design. Much has changed since then, and the University has made great strides in its development as an institution - particularly over the last ten years. The University works extremely closely with Business and the City and its support for the Godiva Business Awards is representative of the importance it places on both.
