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]
