As one of Coventry's biggest employers, we offer some pretty impressive benefits including an excellent pension scheme and generous holiday allowances.
With a significant investment in our estate and facilities, the Coventry University campus reflects our growth and development in becoming University of the Year for 2015 (Times Higher Education) and Modern University of the Year three years running (Times and Sunday Times). Spaces such as TheHub, the Lanchester Library and the Engineering and Computing building are landmark developments for the University, and as the University grows in size and reputation, our estate will continue to advance.
