COVENTRY UNIVERSITY (United Kingdom)Coventry University has a long tradition as a provider of education. It can trace its roots as far back as Coventry College of Design in 1843. It was in 1970 that Coventry College of Art amalgamated with Lanchester College of Technology and Rugby College of Engineering Technology. The resulting institution was called Lanchester Polytechnic: 'Lanchester' after the Midlands automotive industry pioneer, Dr Frederick Lanchester, and 'Polytechnic' meaning 'skilled in many sciences and arts'. Coventry University offers more than 180 courses, with more coming on stream every year in response to the changing needs of industry and society. They are taught by an academic staff of over 600. This diversity of learning opportunities attracts a good mix of students of all ages and nationalities. In 1995/96, there were nearly 15,000 students here. Many of these were mature students - because education does not stop after you reach the age of 21. And many were international students, reflecting our international approach to learning. A busy, multicultural city, Coventry has a population of over 300,000. You will find a mixture of the traditional and modern here; Coventry was rebuilt from the ruins of the last war and attracts major commercial investment, yet traces of medieval Coventry can still be found and the City is keen to preserve what remains of its past. For example, right opposite the University is Coventry Cathedral, where ancient ruins and modern architecture dwell in harmony and where we hold our annual awards ceremony. Coventry
School of Art and Design
Coventry School of Art and Design continues to extend the established boundaries of the subject area at the forefront of higher education. The School is divided into five main subject groups: Communication, Culture and Media; Industrial Design; Information Design; Performing Arts; and Visual Arts, which collectively offer a unique portfolio of courses from BTEC Diploma to MDes and MA levels. We are proud to boast a national and, in some areas, an international reputation for our activities. Our expertise is wide-ranging and included in our numbers are practising artists, designers, leading researchers and scholars. We have our own art and design galleries, the "Lanchester and Concourse," which host regular programs of high quality exhibitions and seminars of newly established artistsĖ work. Founded in 1843, the School has a long tradition of excellence upon which we continue to build. We currently enjoy a high rating for our research capabilities and are proud of our links with the local community and industry world-wide. Communication,
Culture and Media
Media markets are growing rapidly and this has a knock-on effect in terms of employment. Our graduates possess knowledge that is highly prized in our information society. They also have the transferable skills of analysis and communication that can be harnessed across the whole range of professional and managerial jobs. Contact
