Ask a Current Coventry University Student

Anyone from international disaster management OR disaster management and emergency planning?? If so how difficult was it to get onto the course, and do coventry provide lots of help for career afterwards? Thank youuu

Giving this a bump as we're into the new academic year/application cycle - I graduated a couple of years ago now, but still happy to answer any questions

Are freshers wrist bands worth it? I do go out quite a lot, but not sure I’ll be doing it night after night - and I know you can pay on the door?

The only benefits I can see is that it MIGHT work out cheaper and it means I can queue with others who have wrist bands

I’ve not met anyone in my flat yet so I don’t know what they’re doing x x

honest opinion would you go to Coventry university or pick a different uni if you could travel back in time

Can anyone give an opinion on BA Music here? Missed the open days and looking at courses near to Birmingham.

Is Coventry decent for maths or not?

What do you mean by "decent"?

Its decent for below average students, it is well behind academically and in prospects when compared to almost any semi-prestigious uni.

I went their and it was ok, I did an engineering degree and found it pretty easy tbh, i regretted not resitting my A-levels and going somewhere a bit more rigorous afterwards, I moved uni for my masters. Lots of the students at Coventry are getting Cs & Ds at A-level, and that's the pool your swimming in if you go.

I am predicted AAA (maths bio chem) and it is my back up, but wouldn’t it be better to get a first from somewhere like coventry than a 2:1 at a better uni?

I would say a 2.1 from a uni such as Bristol, Bath, Nottingham, Manchester etc. is worth more than a 1st from Coventry, for almost all grad jobs they require a 2.1 or a 1st and what uni you go to doesnt really matter for most jobs. But if you want to work in a super competitive job market say finance you have zero chance coming from Coventry, you need to go to a more prestigious uni just to get interviews.

If your getting anywhere close to AAA even if you miss your firm choice uni, I would suggest finding a more prestigious uni in clearing... You can get an offer for a new uni, then ask Coventry to release you from your offer if you've already put them in as your insurance.
