History

Coventry University College was founded in 2012 as a subsidiary of Coventry University, taking on its new name CU Coventry in 2017. The institution is labelled as a "no frills[3]", alternative to traditional higher education. Students that graduate with a degree receive it from Coventry University, which is recognised by the UK government as the awarding body. It has a range of short courses called Connect to help people access university,[4] and hosts community events.[5]

Higher Education courses

Access to Higher Education courses[6] are offered, designed to help students access higher education without traditional qualifications:

  • Business Studies
  • Engineering
  • Health & Human Sciences
  • Social Sciences
  • Law and Practice

gollark: We'd have to use the tiebreak algorithm.
gollark: If we had an even number of people there might be ties.
gollark: Fear it, although it isn't technically from that.
gollark: This application is LITERALLY a particle of weight W placed on a rough plane inclined at an angle of θ to the horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the particle and the plane is μ. A horizontal force X acting on the particle is just sufficient to prevent the particle from sliding down the plane; when a horizontal force kX acts on the particle, the particle is about to slide up the plane. Both horizontal forces act in the vertical plane containing the line of greatest slope.
