Coventry University has a long tradition as a provider of education. Our roots go as far back as Coventry College of Design in 1843. It was in 1970 that Coventry College of Art amalgamated with Lanchester College of Technology and Rugby College of Engineering Technology. The resulting institution was called Lanchester Polytechnic: 'Lanchester' after the Midlands automotive industry pioneer, Dr Frederick Lanchester, and 'Polytechnic' meaning 'skilled in many sciences and arts'. In 1987 the name changed to Coventry Polytechnic and in 1992 we adopted the title Coventry University. The Lanchester name has been preserved in the title of our art gallery, the Lanchester Gallery, as well as in the Lanchester Library and our Lanchester Restaurant.
Our identity The phoenix was a mythical bird with splendid plumage, reputed to live in the Arabian Desert. Such a symbol is a fitting reminder of the way in which the city of Coventry rebuilt itself after suffering devastation during the Second World War. Coventry is an evolving and innovative university with a growing reputation for excellence in education. Independent surveys show that we provide a caring and supportive environment, enriched by a unique blend of academic expertise and practical experience. Three words set us apart - employability, enterprise and entrepreneurship. Coventry University was "Highly Commended" in the Entrepreneurial University of the Year category at the Times Higher Awards 2008.
In the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, we successfully prepare our students for careers in some of modern society's most important fields - Nursing, Health and Social Care, Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Dietetics and Nutrition, Applied Psychology, Biological and Analytical Science industries and the Sport and Fitness sector.
