Educational Facilities 

There are two universities in Coventry: Coventry University and the University of Warwick.

Coventry University actually has a long and distinguished history dating back to 1843 when it was known as the Coventry College of Design. The university has grown considerably since those early years, and the last decade in particular has been a period of immense growth and expansion, mostly due to the Further and Higher Education Act of 1992. It has built up a stellar reputation worldwide for its automotive design and engineering degree courses

The University of Warwick is as well known for its academic achievements as it is for its radical politics during the 60s and 70s. It is one of only five universities in the country that has constantly remained in the top ten list of universities recognized for their excellence in the academics and research fields. The University of Warwick is among the first universities in the country to forge close ties with the business sector, and it has been hugely instrumental in the efforts to commercialize research.

Some of the best places to pick up some great bargain items are Cathedral Lanes shopping center, the shopper’s precinct on Broadgate, the West Orchards shopping center, and the Coventry Retail Market.

For something that is a bit more upmarket, you might want to check out the boutiques on Hertford Street and the West Orchards shopping center, where designer brands hang side by side with more affordable fashionwear.
