Coventry is a top-60 placed (Complete University Guide 2020) and top 15 (Guardian University Guide 2020), globally connected university. We have research collaborations across the world and multinational research staff and postgraduate researchers.

We give equal priority to high-quality research and high-quality teaching. In line with our 2021 strategy, we have made significant investments in our research portfolio and supporting infrastructure in the last year.

Around 600 academics work in our challenge-led, interdisciplinary research centres. Each centre excels in its own specialist areas, and 92% of our research was rated as ‘world-leading,’ ‘internationally excellent’ or ‘recognised internationally’ (REF 2014 – assessed every seven years).

As an enterprising university, we also offer distance-learning, professional doctorates, industrial and international programmes with universities around the world. We have three flagship international research partnerships in South Africa (Stellenbosch University), China (the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology) and Australia (Deakin University). The university is also developing major transnational education partnerships in the Middle and Far East.

As well as self-funded opportunities, our research centres boast an extensive portfolio of funded PhD projects supported by expert supervisory teams. The university is also a member of numerous UK-based doctoral training consortia, including the AHRC-funded Midlands4Cities Doctoral Training Partnership (M4C) and two nationwide doctoral training alliances in the areas of Applied Biosciences for Health and Energy.

You can join us at one of our three entry points in September, January or May.
