International Week

What is the International Community Week?

The International Community Week runs from the 27-31st January 2025. This festival celebrates the cultural diversity we have here at Coventry University and aims to bring a variety of communities together and create awareness of the support available at university and locally for these students.

Coventry University statistics of International Students

In September 2023, Coventry was named top UK university for International Student Diversity in the QS Europe University Rankings. The study shows that 162 different nationalities are represented within Coventry University Group’s student population.

We currently have 16 active International & Cultural Societies that you can get involved with at Coventry Campus: African Caribbean, Burmese, Eastern European, Filipino, Ghanaian, Gujju, Indian, Kerala Cultural, Kurdish, Nepalese, Nigerian, Pakistani, Palestinian, Punjabi, Tamil and Telugu.

You can also always adopt or start a new International & Cultural Society here.
