This is your one-stop place to access resources, come together, connect with other international students, and receive any support you may need to enhance your University experience. This community is for all students who self-define as having an international background, whether that means you have come to the UK to study or have lived in two or more cultural environments. This includes students from both within and, outside the European Union (EU).

Each year we host an International Festival at the end of January to showcase our many different cultures, traditions and societies. We’ve previously hosted networking days, food fairs, cultural showcases and global crafts and games. We welcome as many students and groups as possible to get involved. If you would like to be involved in planning or suggest an idea for the International Festival, please contact the International Students Community Engagement Lead or email community.su@coventry.ac.uk.
