Coventry is the only city in England, including London (!) to have two top 15 universities.

That's massive for the city.

In fairness to Warwick their stance has changed over the last couple of years and they now are move pro-Cov and are fully behind the City of Culture bid.That is very impressive. If only our delightful Government and Cov CC could have a joint vision to tap into that talent, creativity and enterprise to boost local economy and knock om benefits for all. Always get the Impression Warwick Uni try and pretend they aren't really in Coventry which is a PR disaster for our city. Most people I ask down south predictably think its in Warwick! The Oxford-Cambridge Arc gets massive investment from the Tories so why not Cov.
As usual a lack of a national economic/industrial vision lets the UK down. Not sure what has happened to the 'Midlands Engine" of a couple of years back - which although clumsy was at least a different approach - hoping it hasn't lost its momentum as Cov is at a genuinely exciting crossroads at the mo with UK City Of Culture ..... and Euro City Of Sport (hahahhah - thanks for fcuking that up CCC & Wasps!).
Jury's out on whether HS2 bypassing the City is a good or bad thing though!
Depending on what market you’re looking at will depend on whether The Times or the Guardian rankings are favoured.Just rechecked... it’s the Guardian and that doesn’t include research. The Times is the big one and Cov won’t be as high despite really ramping up on research....
If you go to the bottom-rated uni, do they suck knowledge out of you so you leave dumber than when you entered?
Have you signed a conflict of interest declaration?In fairness to Warwick their stance has changed over the last couple of years and they now are move pro-Cov and are fully behind the City of Culture bid.
Unfortunately, with the new OFS and brexit we are going to see some universities go bust or have to merge but fortunately both our universities are in relatively good shape.
I’m not sure people are actually aware of how successful Cov have been and the uni is now the 4th biggest in terms of numbers and is highly successful in recruiting students from across the world and are really looked at as the template for success which many universities are now trying to replicate.
