Welcome from the Vice-Chancellor As both the Vice-Chancellor and a double graduate of Coventry University, you will struggle to find someone to whom this University means as much as it does to me. That’s why it gives me great pleasure to be able to play a small part in your journey to becoming an undergraduate student here. It is almost 40 years since I embarked on a Computer Science degree at what was then Lanchester Polytechnic. Though the name, the people, buildings and facilities have changed significantly since that time, the University’s passion to bring out the best in students has gone from strength to strength. Over the following pages, I hope to show you what sets Coventry apart and why our forward-thinking approach, modern facilities and practical learning have resulted in Coventry being named University of the Year*, as well as becoming the only university in the country to be judged the UK’s number one modern university** for an unprecedented three years running. But enough from me. Come to one of our Open Days and discover for yourself why thousands of students choose this award-winning university every year. We’ll put your future first. Professor John Latham Vice-Chancellor and CEO Extraordinary Professor at Stellenbosch University * **The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2016 4 5 Our city-centre campus. Our modern single-site campus is located in the middle of Coventry city centre and all the facilities it has to offer. This means that you benefit from studying and socialising on a campus that provides great facilities, and yet you are just minutes from the diverse range of city shops, bars and restaurants. The teaching and learning buildings are all within easy reach of other campus facilities such as the Library, the Sports Centre and TheHub students’ building. And most first year accommodation is either on or very near campus. So wherever you are, you are never far from where you need to get to. On campus, the focal point of non-academic life is TheHub students’ building. This purpose-built space is where students meet for lunch, a quick coffee in Costa, or to log on to one of the many open access computers. It’s also home to Coventry University Students’ Union (CUSU) and Square One – the student bar, performing arts space and 3D cinema. 6 Right at the heart of the city. Right at the heart of the action. 7 Faculties and Schools. As an undergraduate student at Coventry University, you’ll belong to, and will be taught in, one of four academic Faculties, each with between three to four subject-specific Schools: - Faculty of Arts and Humanities - Faculty of Business and Law - Faculty of Engineering, Environment and Computing - Faculty of Health and Life Sciences. You can read more detail on each of the Faculties over the next few pages. What they share in common is that each one has its own Employability Unit with specialist staff on hand to assist students who want to enhance their employment prospects by gaining a work placement, helping them to write CVs and cover letters, providing help with interview techniques and much more. Each Unit has great links with business and industry partners, so students who are looking at work placement opportunities always have access to excellent support and advice. 8 Dominika Szot BA Advertising and Marketing, 1st Year student Faculty of Business and Law 9 Faculty of Arts and Humanities. As one of the oldest parts of the University, the Faculty of Arts and Humanities has been educating some of the leading artists, designers and creative thinkers since 1843. Alumni include the Queen’s portrait painter and an Academy Award winner (‘Oscar’ for animated short film) along with designers in most of the automotive styling studios around Europe, such as Aston Martin, Jaguar Land Rover, Lotus and BMW. The Faculty is made up of three Schools: - School of Art and Design comprises the Arts, Architecture and Design courses. - School of Humanities home to courses in Politics, Sociology, English, History and Languages. - School of Media and Performing Arts contains the collection of Media and Photography courses together with courses in Music Technology, Dance and Theatre. This Faculty really comes into its own during the annual Degree Show when many of its students get the chance to exhibit their hard work to the general public. The Show, which runs towards the end of the academic year, includes a performing arts festival, film screenings and fashion shows. 10 When I first started university I was shy, but I quickly learnt that people wanted to hear my opinions. The staff here are so supportive; with the help of my personal and employment tutors my confidence has grown and now I am treated as an adult, an equal. Nathan Robinson, BA History 11 Faculty of Business and Law. The Faculty of Business and Law provides a dynamic and enterprising educational experience for students interested in Business, Economics, Finance, Accounting, Marketing, Management and Law. It has excellent links to major national and international organisations and close partnerships with universities around the world. Studying alongside international staff and students also helps to give your learning a global context. The Faculty is made up of four Schools: - School of Economics, Finance and Accounting home to courses in Finance and Accounting together with degrees in the field of Economics. - School of Law home to the collection of Law degrees. - School of Marketing and Management has a number of degrees in the fields of Marketing, Sport Management, Event Management and Human Resources. - School of Strategy and Leadership includes courses in International Business and Business Administration. 12 From day one I was presented with loads of opportunities to develop myself at Coventry University. From taking part in mock trials, to undertaking work experience at our student run law clinic, I’ve gained so many skills essential for a career within the legal environment. Sheereen Nabi, LLB Law Graduate 13 Faculty of Engineering, Environment and Computing. Situated in the birthplace of the British motor industry, the Faculty of Engineering, Environment and Computing has a strong tradition of business-focused education and research. Working with some of the biggest names in industry, such as Jaguar Land Rover and GE Aviation, teaching staff use their expertise to educate through activity-led learning. The Faculty is made up of three Schools: - School of Computing, Electronics and Maths encompasses the collection of Computing courses as well as courses in Mathematics and Electrical/Electronic Engineering. - School of Energy, Construction and Environment includes degrees in the fields of Geography, Disaster Management, Oil, Gas and Energy Management together with courses in Construction. - School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Automotive Engineering home to Automotive, Motorsport and Mechanical Engineering programmes as well as courses within the fields of Aerospace Engineering and Aviation Management. 14 My time at Coventry University has been something of a rollercoaster ride – thrilling, fast paced and pretty incredible. They also helped me secure a 13-month work placement at Tata Technologies as an IT Support Engineer. Victor Olasupo, BSc Computer Science 15 Faculty of Health and Life Sciences. The Faculty of Health and Life Sciences offers a wide range of vocational health and social care courses. The Faculty’s approach to teaching, learning and assessment is focused on the practical application of skills and knowledge. And with comprehensive facilities on campus, including a mock operating theatre, crime scene laboratory and a real ambulance, students really do see the benefit of hands on learning. 2017 will see the opening of the Faculty’s brand new Science and Health Building, which will feature a community house and research laboratory facilities, a strength and conditioning room, running track and sports therapy clinic. The Faculty is made up of three Schools: - School of Life Sciences includes courses on Human Biosciences, Food and Nutrition, Sports Therapy, Biomedical Science and Sport and Exercise Science.

  • Steve Quarterman
    Dream Team : Steve Quarterman I have been a Coventry bees fan all of my life and have even called my son Brandon after the stadium. Here is my Coventry bees top 1-7. Tatum Harris Kelvin Tatum Kelvin was one of the first riders I really met, my mother used to run his fan club when he rode for Coventry and on his night he was superb. Chris Harris I think he is just one of the most exciting up and coming British riders around at the moment, his never say die attitude and overtaking means he has to be in the team. Andreas Jonsson 'The Speed Swede' as Yorkie calls him, poeople have doubts over his dedication to British speedway but when he is in the mood no-one can touch him. Scott Nicholls He's the British No1, the Coventry captain and a great rider. Mark Loram worn the world title without being the best gater in the world and Scottie can do the same. Billy Hamill 'The Bullet' in his prime was near untouchable around most tracks but especially around Brandon. If nothing else he would be in my team because of the amount of heat 13 and 15 wins he and Greg Hancock had around Wolves. Stuart Robson Not the best rider in the world but he gives 120% all of the time, and for that he makes the team. Martin Smolinski I know that Martin has only been riding for the Bees for a couple of seasons but he is already gaining somewhat of a cult status amongst the fans.

  • The Save Brandon Stadium Campaign Group
    Rugby Borough Local Plan Examination STAGE 1 HEARINGS Statement by the Save Brandon Stadium Campaign Group SBSCG Comments The Save Brandon Stadium Campaign Group (SBSCG) submitted the representations on the local plan. Since then, and following Brandon Estates decision to close the stadium, the campaign has become much larger and more active and is commonly referred to as the Save Coventry Speedway and Stox Campaign. More information about the campaign is summarised in Appendix 1. SBSCG note that the questions in Stage 1 of the Hearings do not address most of the matters made in their representations and anticipate that these will fall into Stage 2 of the Examination process. Accordingly, the comments made below under Stage 1 do not seek to update or add detail to the evidence already included within the original representations submitted by SBSCG. Matter 1 - Legal Compliance and Duty to Co-operate Issue la: Duty to Co-operate Questions 1. In preparing the RBLP, has the Council complied with the requirements of the Duty to Co• operate 1, with particular reference to: a.

The relevant local authorities and prescribed bodies as defined by S33A(l) in terms of co• operating on these strategic matters? c. Whether the Council has engaged constructively, actively and on an ongoing basis with these organisations on the relevant strategic matters? SBSCG Comments 1.

  • Riders to Remember...Jackie Biggs by Dudley Jones
    Riders to Remember....Jackie Biggs By Dudley Jones Jackie Biggs Jackie Biggs had been about a few years when I first witnessed the sport in 1962. He had been a man of many teams, and mixed fortunes. Jack is probably best remembered as being the man who was the person who came closest to being world champion without actually winning, only to tear defeat from the jaws of victory. As many will know Jack scored a maximum 12 points from his first four rides in the 1951 championship, and needed only a point from his last race to take the title (closest rival Jack Young, had amassed only 12 points from all five of his rides). Finishing last in Heat 19 still left him with a run-off for the title where, once again, he came in last behind Jack Young and Split Waterman. However, my personal memories of Jackie are quite different. By the early 60's Jacks days of stardom were long gone, and those of the old National league were numbered. Jackie was still in the top flight (in those days riders rarely raced at two levels concurrently), but he was mostly reserve for Coventry Bees. Now Coventry Bees were our 'bogie' team at Norwich. Norwich consisted essentially of a couple of big stars, and a longish tail. Coventry, on the other hand, had less in the way of top men, but were considerably more solid. What tended to happen was that Coventry would let Fundin, Nygren and Betts (or Hedge depending on year) go for the win, while they just closed in behind.
