“It’s fantastic news that the first of the major UK league tables has brought a further boost to Coventry University to maintain our upward momentum. Our staff should be proud that their continued efforts and excellence is being reflected in the national rankings in this way.”
It doesn’t stop there either; the Complete University Guide 2016 announcement comes after Coventry University was awarded the Queen’s Award for Enterprise, awarded to the University for its international growth over the past six years. So this Monday hasn’t been the depressing day it started out to be, we don’t know what our next accolade will be, but one thing we do know is…
