Research excellence at Coventry University
Coventry University combines a broad base of academic excellence and expertise with a focus on applied research - innovation, knowledge transfer and service provision. This established research culture underpins teaching and a range of exciting opportunities for students taking higher degrees. It also enhances external community interaction and our status as a successful, business-facing university.
In the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, the University submitted 16 different units (subject areas) and the quality profile of almost two-thirds of this research was rated at the standard of international, internationally excellent, or world-leading. In fact, Coventry University received the highest rating of world-leading in seven different units. The University will continue to build on this success in collaboration with students, businesses, external funders and all those in the wider community interested in achieving outstanding research results.
