basis. We employ almost 1,000 students
in a variety of roles each year. These
include being a student ambassador and

our students union and other on-campus

understanding of how a large organisation
works which looks good on your CV!

placements. Most EU students can work in the
UK without any restrictions. Finding a part-

international students to work on campus
in Coventry.
The Future Works recruitment service on campus
is dedicated to helping students nd work
opportunities. Every year hundreds of students
get jobs this way.

I am amazed by the campus
facilities at Coventry University.
TheHub is one of the most
exciting places for me to
hangout; it has a great food
court, hair salon, medical clinic, a supermarket,
a fun thrilling lounge with pool tables and
everything that a student really requires.
The library facilities that the university provides are
fantastic, most students would agree with me that
it is well updated, has thousands of books and
makes learning a better experience.

The 35 million Hub is just one part of a 200 million
redevelopment programme at the Universitys city
centre campus in Coventry. This also includes the new
55 million home for the Faculty of Engineering and
Computing opened by HRH Princess Royal in 2012.
Facilities include a full size Harrier Jump Jet, Mercedes
Petronas Wind Tunnel, ight simulators and one of the
most powerful magnets in the UK.
The University prides itself on its excellent provision
for sport and recreation with a wide range of facilities

University is very important to us.
We have a well developed network of support
services to help and guide you during your time here.
The International Ofce provides a meet and greet
service from Heathrow and Birmingham airports,
organises and participates in the International Welcome
Week Programme and can assist with course enrolment
and registration with essential services such as a doctor.
The Welfare team will continue to lend their support if
required throughout your time at Coventry. The team
includes multi-lingual staff and many of them have
experienced living and studying abroad themselves.

team by email at welfare.io@coventry.ac.uk

Welcome Week was awesome! I received a prompt
pick up from the airport, guided tours of the University
Campus and programmes to meet new people before
lectures began. I recommend participation in Welcome
Week to all prospective students. June 2013
