Coventry University is a public university in the West Midlands whose origins lie in the Coventry School of Design, opened in 1843. After several mergers it became Lanchester Polytechnic in 1970, was renamed Coventry Polytechnic in 1987 and gained university status in 1992. The main campus occupies a compact site in Coventry city centre, and the wider Coventry University Group also operates campuses in London and Scarborough, along with a growing network of overseas locations.
The university is one of the larger institutions in the UK, with close to 30,000 students enrolled at its UK operations. It is known for a strongly applied, career-focused approach, with teaching across business, engineering, computing, art and design, law, and health and life sciences. Health education is a particular strength: the university states that it trains around three quarters of the Midlands' healthcare professionals. Coventry holds a Gold rating in the Teaching Excellence Framework and places strong emphasis on employability and links with industry.
Information for International Students
Coventry University reports around 13,000 international students from more than 150 countries, making it one of the most internationally mixed universities in the country. As a licensed student sponsor, the university issues the Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) needed for a Student visa and publishes detailed guidance on the visa process, travel to campus from major UK airports and arrival in the UK. Once enrolled, each student is supported by a Success Coach and an Academic Tutor.
The typical English language requirement is IELTS 6.0 overall, with at least 5.5 in each component, for most undergraduate courses, and IELTS 6.5 overall for most postgraduate courses, although some programmes set higher levels. Students who fall short can take the university's own pre-sessional English course, offered in 5, 10 and 15 week formats, face to face in Coventry or online depending on the intake. The university also runs its own International Foundation Year and International Pre-Master's programmes, and many undergraduate degrees are available with an integrated foundation year. A range of halls and self-catered accommodation sits on or close to the Coventry campus. Graduates may be eligible for the UK Graduate Route.

Frequently Asked Questions
UK universities typically require international students who are under 18 when they enrol to have a UK-based nominated guardian in place. The guardian acts on behalf of the parents while the student is a minor, serving as the university's point of contact in an emergency, supporting the student's welfare and providing a trusted adult close by. British Guardianship provides this as a fully accredited university guardianship service.
We have guardians available and ready to be assigned. The overall timeframe depends on how quickly the required paperwork is completed and communication with Coventry University is finalised. As every case is different, timelines can vary, but we aim to make the process as smooth and efficient as possible.
Our UK university guardianship services for Coventry University start from £250 per term. We also offer premium and bespoke packages, and with our flexible guardianship services you only pay for the services you need. Full details are on our guardianship fees page.
No. Once your child turns 18, the nominated guardian requirement no longer applies and guardianship services are no longer needed. This is why our university guardianship is priced per term, so you only pay until your child's 18th birthday.
A UK student guardian must be a responsible adult, usually aged 25 or over, who lives permanently in the UK, speaks fluent English and is close enough to respond quickly in an emergency. The guardian must be contactable 24 hours a day, act as the university's emergency contact until the student turns 18, and hold an Enhanced DBS check where they or their household host the student. Coventry University may also ask for the guardian's details at enrolment and set additional requirements of its own. As an AEGIS-accredited guardianship provider, British Guardianship meets these requirements on your behalf, with vetted guardians, Enhanced DBS checked host families and 24-hour emergency support.
